Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Cast: James Cann, Anjelica Huston, James Earl Jones, D.B. Sweeney

Francis Ford Coppola made the ultimate Vietnam War film in Apocalypse Now. His second shot at the subject moves the action from the jungle to the homefront. This drama is touching but trivial. The good cast does its best, nevertheless.
