FILM

The 2006 film Sir! No Sir! featured me, The Spitting Image, and Jane Fonda in

a segment on how popular culture has distorted the history of the war in Vietnam. Many

reviews of the film noted my role and/or my research in the film. See for example:

New York Times. Manola Dargis. http://www.sirnosir.com/the_film/reviews_38.html

Ebert and Roper. (Two Thumbs Up) http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sir_no_sir/

Variety (film reviews). Robert Koehler.

http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117927681.html?categoryid=31&cs=1&p=0

Los Angeles Times. Kenneth Turan.

NOTE: During the spring and summer of 2006 I facilitated twelve post-screening

discussions of Sir! No Sir! in theaters in Cambridge, MA, Hartford, CT, Northampton,

MA, and other locations. Some of those engagements came with local press interviews

and, because Jane Fonda is in the film, many discussions involved her and her makeover

into Hanoi Jane.
