...Aside from the weather delay, there were few untoward hitches in the military exercise. One paratrooper's static line failed to release him, and he dangled behind the aircraft until he could cut himself loose with a knife. The 82nd's commander, Major General John Deane, parachuted smack into the middle of an icy 50-ft.-wide stream. He was hastily fished out and draped in a dry parka before going to meet South Korea's President Chung Hee Park at a reviewing stand near...
...were to kiss a white girl, that, too, would offend many people. So we would like to take the only logical step we could take where nobody would be offended." The two men then turned to ward each other with a look of simultaneous discovery and fondness -and kissed, smack on the lips.

Director Guy Green wastes footage on tepid erotic interludes, and some of his Grecian tableaux smack of spring pageants at Vassar. Still, he has a strong sense of place, and he uses the azure skies and limpid Mediterranean to give the story the cast of eternity and overtones of legend-in-the-making. In the final hallucinatory segment, he makes the screen a place of brilliant...
