GO TELL THE SPARTANS opens. Directed by Ted Post. Written by Wendal Mayes, from the novel by Daniel Ford. In a remote, non-strategic village in Vietnam, 1964, a cynical, weary veteran officer (the excellent Burt Lancaster) and his team of "military advisors" become the imminent conflict's first sacrificial pawns. Mediative, haunting requiem to a lost cause. With Craig Wasson and Marc Singer.
