I haven't seen this flick in 20 years.
Man, it brings me right back to where my head was at in 1972 or whatever year it came out. Heston was cool. I think the music soundtrack really freaked me out back then because it's very troubling to me now.
To me, there is a strong Viet-Nam tie with this movie - guys far from home in a hostile environment -
Years later I was a piano major in college and the orchestra brought in Aaron Copland to conduct a concert of his music. One piece we did was called "Portrait of an American President" and Heston narrated it standing next to me while I was at the piano. We talked after the show and he was a great guy.
