Rambo seems to have perfectly articulated the nation's mood with regard to Viet Nam. "In general, the public feels that Viet Nam was a tragedy, an experience they don't want to repeat," says Stanley Karnow, author of Vietnam: A History. "But at the same time, there's an attempt to find some redeeming aspects in it. Movies can turn a defeat into victory; you can achieve in fantasy what you didn't achieve in reality."

The 300-lb. Hur's most famous TV commercial features him in | bejeweled scuba...
...foremost a preachment, however, but a superb high-energy entertainment, with a cast of 33, lavishly detailed sets, throbbing music and an urgent, propulsive style set by Co-Author Hare, who directed. It recalls the morally assertive best of warmhearted Broadway satires like The Solid Gold Cadillac in every regard save one: Pravda does not and, given its bitter convictions, could not have a happy ending...
