attack on a flat beach would have been toast. Sure, Duvall's character could have been unscathed but all around him would have been toast. Great examples of your experiences, though.
Like I said, Sheen wasn't believable and that was a major problem. Hopper was also in-credible.
I must say that Brando few moments make the film worthwhile, but hardly so as a classic.
