In time for its upcoming 45th Anniversary, Memorial Day AND the recent resurgence of its Oscar-winning director screening his long-developed passion project (Megalopolis....hopefully coming out later this year), what better time to revisit a film which itself was a long-gestating passion project for Francis Ford Coppola? All of the crazy stories behind its troubled projection have seemingly been remembered as much as the film itself but make no mistake, this Vietnam/Cambodia-set war drama still packs a punch with several memorable sequences including.....one All-Timer scored to Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries?" :o Martin Sheen leads a positively stacked cast including Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, Laurence Fishburne, Harrison Ford, and a highly memorable turn from Marlon Brando. Let's kick off our Fourth Season (!) with a journey up the Nung River.....
