They were crack troops skilled in the techniques of unconditional warfare, the soldiers of the Special Forces – and the focus of Hollywood’s first feature film about the Vietnam War : The Green Berets. John Wayne stars in and co-directs this red-white-and-blue depiction of America’s Vietnam effort. Wayne wrote to President Lyndon Johnson to request military assistance for the film – and got more than enough firepower to create and impressive spectacle. Its soldiers fit the tried and true mould of earlier Wayne war classics like Back To Bataan and Sands of Iwo Jima. Their heroics are timeless.

The Green Berets review by Justin
hawkish view
(1) of (1) members found this review helpful.
Between 1955 and 1975 - from the beginning of American direct involvement in Vietnam to their withdrawal from Saigon – not many films were made by Hollywood relating to the Vietnam War. The only big-budget film during this period was The Green Berets (John Wayne, 1968), which took a hawkish view of the war and included elements of propaganda. This shows the continued support for the battle against communism and the military promises of victory in 1968.
