Allowed to sleep in an "unbearably" cold tent with insufficient blankets, Singh was awakened for another interrogation of 9½ hours and told he would not get adequate shelter until the examination was concluded to Chinese satisfaction. With this stimulus to speed and agreement, Singh gave precise details of the arms, function and organization of India's border patrols, his own operations prior to the ambush, and the location of Indian check posts throughout Ladakh.

What mars the film, apart from acting flaws, is chiefly an over-reliance on corn and gag lines, like Miss Seberg's "I always thought you were a snake, you snake." If the script is supposed to be satire on the usual Hollywood cliches, it does not come off as such, but sounds merely trite itself...
