Tailor-made vehicle for Williams' tour-de-force shenanigans

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2003)

GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM (1987) *** Robin Williams, Forest Whitaker, Tung Thanh Tran, Bruno Kirby, Richard Edson, Robert Wuhl, Floyd Vivino, JT Walsh, Noble Willingham. Loose biopic about Vietnam seen through the eyes of Armed Forces Radio d.j. Adrian Cronauer (loose cannon Williams, nominated for an Oscar) who entertains the American troops with his on-air anti-authoritarian antics and learning about the people of Saigon. Free-wheeling and funny with Williams improvising like mad (director Barry Levinson reportedly had three cameras running at all times and encouraged the stream-of-consciousness stylings). Nice vintage rock soundtrack.
