SSD Saturday Night At The Movies Presents “Go Tell The Spartans”

This movie should need no introduction for fans of Vietnam-genre war movies. Starring Burt Lancaster, “Go Tell The Spartans” is based on former war correspondent Daniel Ford’s novel “Incident at Muc Wa” about a Special Forces Detachment in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.

    Trivia… Sgt. Oleonowski is played by “The Most Interesting Man In The World”.

    One of my top ten favorite Movies.

    Also, a very good representation of early-war SF/Advisor uniforms and patches (yeah,I collect that stuff)

    Thanks for this. Made my night. Haven’t seen in quite awhile.

    The story Lancaster tells about why he’s not a General is one of the best scenes, ever, IMO. Has such a military legend feel to it, so genuine. His mannerisms and timing in telling it are proof of acting greatness.
