...pity that Alex is not the only divided personality of Sunday Bloody Sunday. There have always been two John Schlesingers. The high Schlesinger is the consummate actor's director. Julie Christie has never fulfilled the promise of Schlesinger's Darling. Jon Voight has not come near his performance in Midnight Cowboy. Finch and Jackson will find it difficult, perhaps impossible, to equal their Sunday roles. The low Schlesinger is a pirouetting dandy who can take a lean, melancholy story and muck it about.

A gets busted for disrupting a political rally, and eagerly lies on the stone floor of his cell, scribbling a ringing "statement to the court" on a length of toilet paper. He is freed the next morning without a chance to read...
...writing inspirational sermons that will gain the unit a spread in the Saturday Evening Post. The flyers are ordered to raid civilian towns so that they can concentrate on producing nice tight bomb patterns in the aerial photographs. Most horrible of all, Lieut. Milo Minderbinder (Jon Voight) is encouraged in his murderous wartime profiteering...
