This is like those old CSO shows during world War II with Bob hope and the Andrews Sisters.
Trade Europe for Viet Nam and bring in Fonda, Sutherland, and Boyle and there's the diff.
While the social commentary between the acts was clearly against the war, no soldiers were catching heat for it. It was made clear that they deserved pity too. Despite Fonda's semi-traitorous politics, she never really was angry at the common men. It's the brass and the suits that catch it here.
And it's amusing seeing Donald Sutherland combine his 'Hawkeye' character from M*A*S*H and "Oddball" from Kelly's Heroes and throw in a dash of Ed Sullivan. He still sounds like he's got a mouth full of grits.
Rumors say that Peter Boyle's scenes were used against his will. But I'm not sure of the facts.
Hearts & Minds with humor. Worth a look...IF you can find it.
