6/10
Worth seeing, for Donald Sutherland's...

Warning: Spoilers
I didn't realize until quite recently that I was lucky to have seen this movie backintheday--it supposedly only appeared in theaters for a week or so. Caught up as I was in the anti-war movement of the day, I remember being impressed with the soldiers' reception of the show's songs and skits, and surprised by their own anti-Vietnam war sentiments.

Don't recall many details from the show, but as a 21-year-old 'hip-eye wieeerdo' I can remember revelling in the 'thumb-in-the-establishment's-eye' spirit and energy of the performances.

Mostly I remember that Donald Sutherland gave a harrowing, incredibly impressive dramatic performance of the final paragraphs from "Johhny Got His Gun."
