.....I never cared much for Turner, but I'll give him credit for putting up $53 million of his own money to make this film...if Hollywood had financed it, it would have been little more than an anti-Confederate propaganda piece....
BTW a sneak screening of part of the film was shown over the weekend at Baltimore-Washington International Airport to troops deploying to the Mid-East......it was a big hit.....Robert Duval was there and was mobbed by the troops.......he was asked to repeat his famous line: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning..." which he did to the delight of the crowd....
