Funny about “The Green Berets”. Every time I read a book about the worst movies ever made, they always list TGB. Of course all these books are written by Hollyweird liberals.
What was wrong with the movie? Technical flaws? Bad acting? Poor sets? Nooooo. It was too “unrealistic”. This coming from an industry that specializes in being unrealistic. These critics couldn’t even stand one movie not toeing the anti-war mandate.
I think 35 years after the fact, people remember four Vietnam movies.
Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket
Platoon
The Green Berets
The rest are forgotten. Who doesn’t remember what “Puff the Magic Dragon” [AC-47 gunship] was, and where did we learn about it? From The Green Berets, of course.
