Ted Post was a commendable director:his "beneath the planet of the apes" ,which already featured James Franciscus ,although much inferior to Shaffner's work was entertaining and "go tell the Spartans" was one of the first films dealing with the Vietnam war.
"Good guys ..." does too.But "Go tell..." had Burt Lancaster ,and this movie has nobody who can match him.Besides the screenplay is vague,mean and thin :it seems that Post would have liked to make his own "Mandchurian candidate" with snatches of "parallax view" thrown in for good measure.The two leads acting is minimal to say the least.Only Dana Andrews' short appearance has something to do with acting.Abysmal ending.
