Trivia
Brian De Palma says on a interview given for the DVD extras of "Casualties of War (1989)" that the idea from this movie came from the same story that "Casualties of War (1989)" is based on. The story was published in "The New Yorker" Magazine in 1969, and later became a book. Allegedly Elia Kazan also read the story on The New Yorker and had the idea of a fictional script that showed the after wards of the true history showed in "Casualties of War (1989)," in which the character played by Sean Penn goes to jail after has been convicted by a martial court of war crimes (he and three outer guys kidnapped, raped and then murdered a Vietnamese girl in the Vietnam war). In the movie, "Sean Penn"'s character, in his trial, promises revenge to Michael J. Fox's character, who was the one that reported him.

Harry Wayne: He was in some kind of trouble in Vietnam. Do you know about it?

Kazan curio from 1972

This curio is a low budget drama directed by Elia Kazan from a script by his son. This is probably one of the first times audiences got to see James Woods in a leading role. He plays Bill, a young man, just back from the Vietnam War and living in a rural menage with his girl, her older husband, and his child. The older guy is a Hemingwayesque writer with a penchant for booze, and Patrick McVey plays the role with aplomb. At their door appear a couple of Bill's old army buddies, and one of them has a grudge to work out, since Bill ratted him out something back in the war zone. The young woman gets into it too, and the tension grows to an inevitable confrontation. There are no revelations here, but it is worth a look.
