Despite bad weather, U.S. Navy and Air Force jets managed an average of 85 strikes a day against North Viet Nam, twice hitting a vital railroad-highway bridge and power plant in the port city of Haiphong. U.S. planes also kept up relentless pressure on the Communists surrounding the besieged U.S. Marine base of Khe Sanh, though 100 to 300 rounds of mortar and rocket fire continued to pour into the garrison each day.

It takes fragmentary and superficial perspectives and with relentless music keeps up an arbitrary pace. The film consciously seems to pattern the conventional crime film, down even to the priest on death row. With maddening coyness, In Cold Blood is constantly implying that it knows more than what it is letting...
