...SALERNO. Writer Carl Foreman arrived in Italy last week with a large cast and crew determined to correct his earlier failures. Somehow, says Foreman, The Bridge on the River Kwai and The Guns of Navarone got out of hand, and although they were blazingly successful, failed to deliver his central message: "I feel that all we won in the last war was the license to have another. I am trying to reflect the bitterness and disappointment my generation feels. There's a larger theme, that any war, big or little, just or unjust, always degrades the victors equally with...
