Frustrated & Fatalistic. In this game of dominoes, the key piece was a tiny hamlet named Bongson-which in Vietnamese means "paradise." To its garrison of South Vietnamese defenders it appears more like a death trap.

Last week Viet Cong campfires cast a brazen glow on the hills outside of town, while in Bong-son's main fort-rimmed with barbed wire and booby traps-soldiers and civil...

After that there's the Kneeling Shot. "For any distance from 180 yds. to 230 yds.," writes Hahn, "this shot is amazingly simple. On two occasions I have rimmed...
...nonetheless keeps the action tumbling in and out of mirrors, closets, mantels, trap doors. And sneaky camerawork by France's formidable Henri Decae imbues the décor with glittering menace. As the ne'er-do-well whose passions surge at the drop of a bank note, Delon is a rake smoothly handled by Temptress Albright and coltish Actress Fonda, who comes through as a sort of cheerleader turned femme fatale. Together, they make Joy House as sportive as a carnival crazy house, brimful of absurd surprises...
