Hail, Hero!

The rejection of the Vietnam War by pacifist college student Carl Dixon (Michael Douglas, in his first credited film role) had deepened his existent rift with his conservative rancher father Albert (Arthur Kennedy). Little could prepare his clan, therefore, for the day he unexpectedly arrived home--to announce that he’d dropped out...and enlisted. Long-sought snapshot of its day, adapted from the John Weston novel, co-stars Teresa Wright, Peter Strauss, Deborah Winters, Charles Drake. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
