Movie Info

This tale of doomed romance set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War was the last in a string of box office disappointments from director Sidney J. Furie before he struck gold again with Iron Eagle (1986). Ken Wahl stars as Dr. Don Jardian, a Navy medical officer assigned to duty in Vietnam. Jardian is no flag-waving patriot, however; the reluctant warrior is just biding his time until he can return stateside and start a lucrative private practice. Then he meets and falls in love with Deborah

Well intentioned but ultimately disappointing Vietnam War romantic melodrama.

A romance story set in Vietnam that misses the mark completely.

Underrated war movie with the gorgeous Ken Wahl, and for the guys- Cheryl Ladd. Hope they bring it to DVD soon.
