summertree
where he spent many of his happiest days before being shipped off to southeast asia . based on ron cowen ' s off - broadway play , summertree has one or two compelling moments , but most of it is a compendium of 1970s movies cliches , right down to the fragmentary storyline and
hip
photography .

if all this sounds like daytime tv , it’s not inappropriate because the couple met while acting in summertree , a 1971 film produced by michael’s dad which proved that even an antiwar movie can come off like soap opera . “it was a low - budget film , and michael and i were sharing a trailer , ” brenda recalls . “i would put up a sheet and change behind it . ” one change led to another , and soon michael and brenda were sharing a stateroom on the queen elizabeth ii . “we fought like cats and dogs , ” brenda says . “michael kept saying that if it hadn’t been for the trailer first , an then if we hadn’t been in europe 3 , 000 miles away from home , we never would have made it . ”

now that the unwed game is as conventional as gin rummy among hollywood couples , the kinky thing to do these days is get married . “the time is coming , ” fears michael douglas , kirk’s son and karl maiden’s greenhorn sidekick on abc’s gumshoe drama the streets of san francisco , “we’re going to be pushed into it , ” allows brenda vaccaro , michael’s lady for five years , a buoyant actress of stage ( broadway’s cactus flower ) , screen ( midnight cowboy ) and tv specials .
not that michael and brenda are shopping for monogrammed towels yet , but just the idea that they’re contemplating the manacles of marriage is unlikely enough . they’re separated by both a mini - generation gap—he’s 28 , she’s 34—and a personality gap . michael is a tight - tailed new englander , crisp as a mclntosh apple . brenda is a rabelaisian from brooklyn , ripe as a pomegranate with a throaty , 3 a . m . voice straight off the e train . she had been pushed into marriage once before ( to director martin fried ) and gave up after three years . not so long ago brenda observed , “when you’re married , you try harder . who needs that kind of pressure ? ”
but brenda’s sicilian - born mom has lately made a tearful confession to michael that “i want to see my daughter marry before i die . ” and brenda says that michael’s mother , english - born actress diana douglas , is hardly less subtle : “she’s knitting a blanket for a baby we don’t have . ”
of course , it never looked as if michael would make it into show biz either . his parents divorced when he was 6 , and his mother raised him in connecticut and at high - toned schools like choate . his father was relieved that he seemed headed for law at the university of california at santa barbara , and told michael he was “terrible” in his student acting debut in as you like it . but in a later production kirk reversed himself , declaring the kid “very good , ” and michael went on into a few off - broadway plays and ephemeral movies before his abc series came along .
brenda is yin to michael’s yang . her father , a lawyer , moved the family from brooklyn to dallas and opened the big d’s first gourmet restaurant , mario’s . brenda , in the only miscasting of her life , was packed off to finishing school—and she was promptly tossed out . she waited on tables in a new york coffeehouse and modeled bathing suits for maidenform before becoming second banana to lauren bacall in cactus flower . after a score of plays and movies , brenda is still on the cusp of stardom , seemingly condemned to give her best performances in turkeys . she was nominated for tonys—and lost—three times but did win an emmy this spring in cbs’s blandly feminist comedy special , the shape of things . she has done other one - shots ( including playing ethel rosenberg in abc’s the trial of julius and ethel rosenberg ) but considers a series anathema .
michael himself is leary about the weekly regimen—both professionally and personally . what he really seeks is to direct and produce movies—a sensible solution for someone who does not want to be remembered as son of spartacus . most of michael’s moonlight hours the past few years have been spent in co - producing a film version of kesey’s one flew over the cuckoo’s nest , starring jack nicholson . “the exciting thing about making films today is that everything is up lor grabs , ” he explains . “and you had better grab . ”
the other problem about tv series for douglas is the crimp in his relationship with vaccaro . during the eight - month shooting season , michael is on san francisco location up to 18 hours a day , six days a week , and brenda is on an air - shuttle yo - yo from los angeles every weekend between her commitments ( the latest of which was the adaptation of jacqueline susann’s once is not enough , also featuring , ironically , kirk douglas ) . this summer , with his crescendoing clout on streets , michael finagled an extra week together with brenda by casting her in the series as a guest star . she played a gun - toting mob hit - woman , in an episode which will air september 19th .
the permanent ( though still rented , not owned ) douglas - vaccaro home is a glittering los angeles aerie atop benedict canyon , which they share with a belgian sheepdog , a persian cat and now and then with even her ex - boyfriend . what will drive them to marriage is the children michael’s mother is speculatively knitting for . kids out of wedlock are unthinkable to both . “i’m not condemning those people who do it , ” says michael . “but it seems simpler ail the way around to get married . ” brenda concurs but would never give up her profession completely . “as simone de beauvoir said , ” says vaccaro , with uncommon seriousness , ” ‘a woman’s freedom always begins with her own money . ’ ”

hi , i found your rental on apartment finder . when can i schedule a time to come by and take a look ? thank you .
yes , i agree . email me apartment listings , special offers and related apartment info .
no one responded to my request so i know nothing nor have i seen any apartment .
the apartments are very nice , quiet and comfortable . and the staff are very friendly and helpful . my only issue is that parking is atrocious . there ' s no assigned parking and it seems like there ' s more cars than spaces available . i live near the entrance and sometimes have to park way in the back . there ' s one parking spot with a no parkong , tow - away sign right above it . it also gets horribly flooded during the rain and is really icy . other than that , its a wonderful place to live close to plenty of shopping and food places .
nice place to live . makes me feel at home and maintenance always comes right away to fix the problems . . . which is hardly ever . i love it here and i wont move anytime soon .

winner of off - broadway ' s vernon rice award , which earned unanimous critical praise in its long - run production by the lincoln center repertory theatre . concerned with the problems and fears of young people in today ' s uncertain world , the play is both a joyous expression of the good things in life and a powerful indictment of war and the senseless waste which it can bring .

cmtc identified the main causes of the backups and delays , which were mainly attributed to inefficiencies , disorganization , and miscommunication between team members . value stream mapping was used to create a blueprint for the company’s lean transformation and prioritized the activities required to improve their workflow . a kaizen event was also conducted to prioritize smaller and incremental improvements in their processes . pieces of equipment were reorganized on the shop floor , creating a more sensible flow for production and enabling team members to identify any issues or backups in production earlier in the process .
a new standardized documentation process to track orders was implemented and key performance indicators ( kpis ) were also established . management could now evaluate and sustain the success of implemented changes on an ongoing basis .
“with cmtc’s assistance , we were able to improve our workflow and better manage demand . as a result , our company experienced $ 400 , 000 in increased sales , 6 new jobs , and $ 250 , 000 in cost savings . ”

fyi , the version of this movie that kiss released in 2007 isn’t the as - broadcast original but rather a shorter cut released to european theaters under the moniker attack of the phantoms ; i’m sure everyone reading this will weep at the thought of being deprived the unvarnished masterpiece i first saw in 1978 .

ask around , get into a recommended retreat or program – you want to know someone who’s been on the particular one you’re looking into and can vouch for it .
as standard and cut and dry as war movies get , retreat , hell ! has its moments but for the most part the film was made to glorify american marines . after a fairly somnambulant first act where very little of much consequence occurs , the film settles into a fairly predictable routine of non stop action scenes which are briefly interrupted by pesky things like dialogue and exposition .
we arrived at the retreat location , which is somewhere in new england , in the spring . the building itself seemed normal enough from the outside as a typical historic new england structure
i ' m a fan of joseph lewis . he ' s made a couple of great movies and i admire the way he can make visually exciting cinema with limited resources - in fact , the limited resources seemed to inspire him to find exciting ways to stage his scenes , imagination replacing big budgets . but retreat , hell ! is probably the drabbest of his films that i ' ve seen . a combat film , made during the korean war about the korean war , a glorification of the u . s . marines . and if we are looking for an auteur , producer - writer milton sperling , who once served with the marines , is probably the culprit . although i presume retreat , hell ! wasn ' t a b movie , it was hardly big budget : made with the collaboration of…
“it can be terrifying , tormenting , heaven and hell . there’s a real sense of duality , ” he says . “it’s been described as the best psychologist , the best doctor and the best priest at your beck and call . ”
well - directed by the great joseph h . lewis ( gun crazy ( 1950 ) , the big combo ( 1955 ) ) and despite some plot clichés and flag - waving , retreat hell registers as a solid war drama . the “retreat” of the first marine division from the manchurian border during the korean conflict is treated with grim and gritty realism . the presence of b - movie superstars richard carlson and frank lovejoy greatly enhances the proceedings . watch for actor / writer nedrick young as sergeant novak . young won an academy award for best screenplay in 1958 for the defiant ones under a pseudonym ( nathan e . douglas ) because he had been blacklisted in 1953 .

retreat hell , author christopher nuttall ' s eighth book in the empire ' s corps series , trends back to marine jasmine yamane . she ' s given command of a military force tasked with backing up the teetering government on an industrially rich but economically threatened planet called thule . little does she know that the rebels are backed by weapons from rival wolfbane , which is trying to defeat the still susceptible commonwealth and bolster its own status after the fall of earth and the empire . yamane d

the local fox channel in los angeles must have harbored a cell of fans of retreat , hell ! , because it seemed as if they showed this film at least once a month in the hours between 2 and 5 a . m . i was hooked after one viewing , although i know i came in somewhere in the middle ; it was some time before my erratic sleep patterns fell into synch with the program schedule . i can ' t recommend it too highly - - it is a tribute to all cliches of all war movies to that date , without the distraction created by interesting characters , plot or technical skill . watch it again and again and you ' ll understand .
i’ve been back from my 7 - day detox for a week now , and when people ask me “how was the detox ? ! ” with an excitable smile ( anticipating stories of my newfound serenity and rejuvenated internal cleanliness ) so that they might consider doing a detox retreat for themselves… i just look at them squarely and ask them to sit down , and listen .
i’d done my own juice cleanses over the years , i’d drank enough herbal teacups to sink titanic , i’d popped sustained - release antioxidant capsules aplenty… but i’d never decided to stop everything else completely ( work , routine , play , training , travel ) to purely take a break to focus on my insides – both guts and mind . it sounds odd to pay someone something ‘for nothing’ ( no solid food during the retreat ) but without the retreat structure there’s no way i could have personally done something to the effect of this – both physically ( with the well - timed liquid supplements and physical treatments that make up any given detox retreat day ) and mentally , with the ‘switch - off’ of the mobile phone due to no reception for calls or internet… except for one sneaky motorbike ride up the mountain half - way through the detox - week … to spend $ 100 in data - roaming for god - knows what level of social - media satisfaction . i think 4 days - in ( without solid food ) i was just seeking sustenance from some sort of feed… newsfeed would do nom nom nom . i felt dirty for a few hours afterwards go figure .
i attended the peppers masterclass food experience retreat . i was also a getaway for me , and i found it to be wonderfully relaxing . the cooking class side of things was fantastic too , the group picked up great tips and enjoyed superb food at every meal , including the one we prepared ! i hope they do another one , and promote it well as it was great value for money .
finally , with no answers , i backed the car from its space and began inching down the long dirt driveway . on our left we could see angry guy digging roughly with a shovel in the house’s expansive front garden ; the director of the retreat , a man whom we had seen only once so far , and who had firmly ignored our efforts to say hello , was looking on from the porch .
– a time that is otherwise spent consuming as much food and alcohol with as many friends and family as possible . basically , it was a double - sided - strategy to help avoid the annual smashing i’ve given myself each december ( for the last decade and a half ) , as the month leading into the retreat would require preparation to make the most out of it ( so i had no alcohol for the month of december ; and no red - meat , refined sugar or dairy for the final week ) . it was good having a ‘story’ of the upcoming detox retreat , to help navigate through many christmas party and end - of - year lunches that pressed for a smashing . if people think they can twist your arm they might try , but if you’re firm and resolute - and have a simple story of a detox retreat coming up that you’ve invested in , sailing through a big party period can be a breeze . i remember dancing ( totally sober ) at our work christmas party and someone coming up to me and saying , “gees you’re really getting into it how much have you had to drink ? ”… i was just like “ahhhh… . time to go home”… and i moonwalked straight out of there in one of the great phantom maneuvers .
the detox was hard . it was harder than i thought . it was something i would only recommend to someone who felt ‘ready’ and keen to push themselves to the limit for the betterment of their insides . day three i felt like i could give up and go get some salty lamb chops… but being committed to a retreat program meant that simply wasn’t an option . once i broke through the day three haze , i could see this was going to be an incredible experience as a whole .
retreat hell , author christopher nuttall ' s eighth book in the empire ' s corps series , trends back to marine jasmine yamane . she ' s given command of a military force tasked with backing up the teetering government on an industrially rich but economically threatened planet called thule . little does she know that the rebels are backed by weapons from rival wolfbane , which is trying to defeat the still susceptible commonwealth and bolster its own status after the fall of earth and the empire . yamane does well against the rebels , while questioning if she should be fighting on their side instead of the weak government supported by the wealthy business owners , who don ' t allow votes to people without jobs . this means most people can ' t vote because the economy went into a tailspin after the fall of the empire , and before that its slow decline . nuttall tells the story through his characters , who are quite well developed by this point . the action continues to push the reader along , and nuttall gets his points about economics and its influence on politics in the meantime . it ' s fun stuff . i had to read three of these in a row , which is no small time commitment .
perhaps coming to olive in such a roundabout manner , i . e . , a warner release whose rights ( if i get this right ) first transferred to republic then mélange then viacom then paramount and now sublicensed to olive , the film elements are in okay but not great shape . clouding matters further is director joseph h . lewis frequent use of dissolves and late - in - the - game optical printing ( because he didn ' t shoot enough coverage ? ) and the use of scratched - to - hell military stock footage . nevertheless , overall the image is pretty good and its flaws don ' t take the viewer out of the film .
: after following those steps outlined above , i drank the lemon and oil and then an hour later… omfg . an hour later ( and each hour after that ) some stuff ( from hell ) was eliminated from my body . after not eating solids for 5 days i was feeling relatively clean anyway… . so to see the likes of this gunk coming out ( from my gallbladder and liver ) was equal parts gross and sensationally cleansing . who even knew that stuff was in there ? it was nothing short of gross to see it come out – but in this instance , i would 100 % rather this stuff out than in . the liver - cleanse was the single most extreme and awesome part of the whole experience .
we drove away from the retreat house that morning with a relief so overwhelming it turned into deranged giddiness . had we actually survived ? were we ever in danger ? marianne and i are writers , after all , which in our case makes us as imaginative and fanciful and prone to elaborate storymaking as your average third grader , and we do egg each other on . still , it sure seemed like something strange had been going on during our visit . the profanity , the weird behavior of pretty much everyone we met , the creepy late - night footsteps , the general tension of the house overall , the corpse garden .
“he’s been doing that for half an hour , ” she explained in a whisper . she had gone downstairs at one point and even then , he didn’t let up . angry guy was bashing pots around a kitchen like a sugar - addled toddler with a prodigal gift for muttered profanities . it turned out he was just making dinner as loudly as possible , because eventually the smell of cooking food drifted up from the kitchen to where marianne and i sat upstairs . i wondered , who was angry guy’s noisy cooking supposed to punish ? i realized we hadn’t seen desdemona all day . we had only caught a glimpse of the retreat’s director once , as we left that morning .
we live relatively locally , but had never heard of this place . we have stayed at other peppers resorts , so that , and the september special persuaded us to give this place a try . we were not disappointed ! excellent welcoming , yet professional staff , fantastic location , clean , comfortable accomodation , and last but not least fantastic food ! ! i personally loved the lack of mobile reception . . . . it can ' t be a retreat if your phone is going off and people can contact you easily ! i would highly reccomend the restaurant , and don ' t forget to go down to the creek and hang out ( literally ) in the hammocks , so peaceful and relaxing - i wish we could have stayed longer . . if i had to complain i would say : the bed wasn ' t amazing - but i love a solid mattress , and i am seven months pregnant , so that could be personal preference / whinge ! the spa and pool could do with an upgrade but were still nice , the only downside was that the gas storage area hidden behind the spa which let out a whiff of gas now and again . and the morning we were there it was continental breakfast only . . . . . . which was a bit of a let down . all in all , a really nice , peaceful retreat . i would go again in a heartbeat : )
i will be purposely vague on details because i am not writing this as an indictment of the retreat space in question . and i don’t want to hurt their business if it’s doing well . it’s possible our visit was an anomaly . according to many people on the internet , most visitors to this location have a wonderful experience there , and none have publicly described the bizarre scenario we found ourselves in . ( or at the least , they haven’t done so and survived . perhaps even now , as i write this , a dark - haired demon girl is cracking her knuckles behind my laptop screen , readying herself to lunge onto my desk and disappoint me to death . let’s watch and see . )
part of me wonders if i should give that place a second chance ; the reviews online are consistently positive , so much so that i continue to suspect that we passed through some kind of portal into the silent hill version of the retreat space — one that , instead of being peaceful and filled with inspiration , is populated by perverse twisted horror versions of all the good things former visitors had described . if nothing else , i got a story out of it , even if it wasn’t the story i expected or wanted . sometimes life gives you lemons . and sometimes life gives you fuckshits , and you’re like , “what , i can’t even make lemonade out of these things . also please don’t kill me in the dead of night . ”
neither of us felt safe discussing this subject further inside the house , so we gathered our stuff to leave for the day and we put on our contraband shoes and went to the car , where we began formulating scenarios that would explain the blonde woman’s sudden absence . had she only planned to stay one night ? that seemed unlikely , as these kinds of retreat spaces typically host residents for a few days at least , and usually a week or more . had she fled in terror ? given that i’d considered doing the same on the night of the fuckshits , it was possible . had she met with some terrible fate ? did that doll in the hallway kill her ? was it angry guy , in his mr . hyde persona ? of course , marianne and i hadn’t technically been attacked , but i reasoned that maybe that was only because either of us would prove very bulky to carry downstairs while unconscious or dead .
i ' ve been coming to byron bay for a few years for my own personal holidays and wanted to check this place out before committing to a stay , so this is what folks in the business call a
site inspection
. the first thing anyone will notice is that it ' s way out of town in the back blocks of byron bay near bangalow - both great spots in themselves - but not really close enough to be convenient . this factor could work both ways in your vacation planning making it great for a couples retreat but not so much for a family holiday . the cabins are individually self - contained and standalone , so you won ' t be bothered by your neighbour ' s hob - nailed boots . they ' re roomy but not lavish , comfortable , clean and neat without being luxurious . the restaurant ' wilson’s by the creek ' has a considerable reputation and head chef , adam hall , is a bit of a local ' rock star ' among chefs . his gourmet and culinary weekends have quite a following , so this may be a good excuse to get out there . of course you can come out and dine without staying , but due to licensing , the restaurant is only open to non - resident guests fri - sat - sun . at the time of my visit , there was some ground clearing going on to remove non - native species and the new onsite manager ( paul ) had just moved in . there were some adverse comments about the previous manager who i never met , so this . . .

joseph h . lewis , a director of b movies during hollywood ' s golden era whose work received great critical acclaim after his retirement , has died .
lewis died aug . 30 at st . john ' s hospital in santa monica , said his friend , dr . gail reingold . lewis was believed to be 93 , although some reference books list his birthday as april 6 , 1900 .
in movies like
the big combo ,
terror in a texas town ,
my name is julia ross
and
gun crazy ,
lewis transcended the limits of the b movie franchise , making fast - paced , visually stimulating films .
lewis made no - nonsense movies that drove right to the end ,
film historian and critic richard schickel said on learning of lewis ' death .
lewis received the l . a . film critics assn . lifetime achievement award in 1997 , honoring his 38 pictures made between 1937 and 1958 .
the rarely lauded director earned renewed attention in the 1960s from critics in the united states and france who had begun to look at directors as auteurs .
gun crazy ,
critic jay cocks and his friend and collaborator , director martin scorsese , wrote in the new york times some years ago ,
is a great movie that never set out to be one . . . . within the restrictions of a tough budget and an oppressively short shooting schedule , [ lewis ] helped expand our visual vocabulary .
that film , arguably lewis ' finest work and the one he later told director peter bogdanovich was his favorite , was shot in 30 days in 1949 and cost $ 400 , 000 to make .
the screenplay , by mackinley kantor and millard kaufman ( then
fronting
for blacklisted screenwriter dalton trumbo ) from a kantor magazine story , describes a couple who decide to rob a bank after pulling a series of small - time robberies .
the fast - paced film contains a dynamic sequence , shot in a realistic manner from the back seat of a stretch cadillac , following the couple , played by peggy cummins and john dall as they drive into town to pull the bank heist . scorsese and cocks called it
unrelenting ,
adding that improvised scenes of this type
literally pull the audience along with the actors and the action . they obliterate the separation between screen and spectator . there ' s no more audience . there are only accomplices .
born in new york city , the son of an optometrist , lewis came to hollywood in the 1920s hoping to become an actor . his brother ben , then a film editor at metro goldwyn mayer , helped him get work at the studio as a camera loader . at a time when the industry was turning away from silent films , lewis joined his brother in the editing room learning how to put sound with moving pictures .
in the ' 30s , he joined mascot films , which later became republic pictures , and became head of its editing department . he would later tell bogdanovich , however , that he did little editing , hiring instead the best editors in town at salaries that often eclipsed his .
by the mid - 1930s , lewis was directing b films for republic on tight schedules with low budgets . it was not uncommon to make a film in seven days and start another one the next day . he made westerns like
courage of the west ,
blazing six shooters
and
two - fisted rangers ,
working with such stars as fuzzy knight , johnny mack brown and bob baker .
in the ' 40s , he proved himself capable of working in other b genres , directing such forgettable science fiction films as
the mad doctor of market street ,
and musicals like
the minstrel man .
lewis served in the army signal corps during world war ii , making instructional films including one on how to shoot the m - 1 rifle , which was shown well into the ' 60s .
lewis worked steadily in hollywood through the years . one of his most noted film credits was
the jolson story ,
in which he directed all the musical numbers .
when the advent of television brought a decline in b film production , lewis switched to the small screen , directing episodes for
the rifleman ,
gunsmoke ,
the big valley ,
the dick powell show
and
the defenders .
i signed my name to every foot of film ,
lewis told bogdanovich , who included a lengthy interview with the director in his book of conversations with great filmmakers called
who the devil made it .
oh , a chance to express myself . . . . i ' m innately an artist . but an artist without a diploma : i can ' t play violin , i have no voice for singing , i ' m not a poet , i can ' t sketch , i can ' t paint . what is there left for me to do . . . this wonderful means of expression .

this is the eighth book in author nuttall’s “the empire’s corps” series and is well worth reading . the plot of the series is believable as are the strategy and tactics employed by the characters . author nuttall is a professional writer , and the book shines with crisp dialogue . the often expressed philosophical comments by the characters could easily be found in today’s news . taking the time to read the entire series would be time well spent .
this series got a bit tedious a few books ago , this one is just yadda yadda blah blah zzzzzzzzzzzz . . . .
action packed awesomeness but the author helt back bridging to a possible story arc with last few books in the series . . . ah we ' ll see . five stars
great series ! a lot going on in this book . i like that the conflicts aren ' t all wrapped up in bow at the end . quite a cliff hangar though !

extraordinary challenges face the marines in korea , in w . e . b . griffin ' s most electrifying corps novel yet . abridged * five cds * 6 hours
w . e . b . griffin is one of eight pseudonyms used by william e . butterworth iii , who was born on november 10 , 1929 in newark , new jersey .
he enlisted in the u . s . army as a private in 1946 and underwent counterintelligence training at fort holabird . after assignment to the army of occupation in germany where he served on the staff of the commander of the u . s . constabulary , major general i . d . white , butterworth left the service in 1947 , but rejoined and again served with white from 1951 to 1953 in korea . after leaving the service for the second time , butterworth remained in korea as a combat correspondent . he was later appointed chief of the publications division of the signal aviation test and support activity at the army aviation center in fort rucker , alabama . he received the brigadier general robert l . dening memorial distinguished service award of the u . s . marine corps combat correspondents association in 1991 and the veterans of foreign wars news media award in 1999 .
at first , he wrote fiction for young adults . he has written more than 125 books including the brotherhood of war series , the corps series , badge of honor series , honor bound series , presidential agent series , men at war series , and a clandestine operations novel series . he received the alabama author ' s award in 1982 from the alabama library association .
in this tenth entry in griffin ' s series about the marine corps in world war ii and korea ( his 30th novel overall ) , it is fall 1950 . mccoy , pickering , and the others are in the cia , sniffing out hints that the chinese communists will join the war . this puts them at odds with general macarthur ' s intelligence people , who feel that such a thing is impossible . having served in korea and known many of the players , griffin has a solid knowledge of the material he presents here . like his other books , this one is formulaic and predictable , but his many fans will find it hugely entertaining ; the americans are generally so good , so determined , and so skilled that one knows they will win . still , it should be noted that this book is slower going than its predecessors , as griffin focuses more on the politics rather than the action of the korean war . for larger fiction collections .

a bunch of husky guys in battle - green who showed the world you can ' t stop a marine .
having never served in the armed services , the film offered an interesting window into war life but i ' ve seen so many better movies on the subject that this one offered little substance beyond the aforementioned action scenes . the film could have ended on a down beat note , but no , genre conventions dictate that the marines…
pretty much a recruiting tool for the us marine corp , but as far as recruiting movies go , it ' s a pretty solid war effort . a bit of depth to the characters , some remarkably tense action scenes make this rise above what would otherwise be jingoistic fare .
korean - era propaganda film that ' s chockfull of cliches and one long recruiting commercial for the marines but is still fast paced and gets the war action job done . limited star power is provided by richard carlson , a super gung - ho frank lovejoy and an incredibly young russ tamblyn . probably enjoyable for war film junkies only .

ntelligence of attack plots across europe is being uncovered as islamic state’s caliphate is beaten back , the top british officer in the military coalition fighting the extremists has disclosed .
a trove of information has already been found and the capture of the iraqi city of mosul is expected to deliver more on the plans , finances and members of islamic state in iraq and levant ( isil ) .
maj gen rupert jones warned there were “no quick answers” in the fight to liberate iraq’s second city , which has now entered its second month .
e also appeared to challenge donald trump’s campaign trail suggestions that the coalition was not aggressive enough against the extremist movement also known as daesh .
maj gen jones , who is second in command of the us - led coalition , spoke as the telegraph visited more than 250 british troops recently sent to al asad air base in western iraq where they are training iraqi troops to fight the militants .
the volume of intelligence being found is so large the coalition has set up a lab in the gulf to plunder militants’ laptops , phones and drives for their secrets and then pass them to intelligence agencies .
, he said . but he warned the militants would still be able to direct plots while they remained in their capital , raqqa .
maj gen jones said : “manbij was hugely important for external operations . a huge amount of intelligence gathered in manbij related to threats in europe and elsewhere . what we are now in the process of doing is starting the isolation of raqqa .
“for as long as raqqa is sitting there , they can orchestrate external operations . so the sooner it’s liberated or the sooner daesh are liberated from there , the better . ”
e went on : “the reason we are all here is because daesh has demonstrated it poses a threat to our way of life . it’s demonstrated very effectively what it can do in europe and elsewhere . ”
heavy fighting continues in mosul where iraqi security forces began an assault to drive out isil nearly six weeks ago .
maj gen jones said : “i am absolutely certain that an extraordinary amount of intelligence will come out of mosul . we have ramped up as a coalition our ability to gather and process all that intelligence , because it will be a labyrinth of intelligence and we need to get that into the hands of intelligence agencies . ”
