one of the reasons Martin Sheen gives such a balanced and believable performance is that he trusted his director-Lamont Johnson.
Mr johnson also directed Martin Sheen to a wonderful performance in My sweet charlie,another brave film at the time.
lamont johnson was a brilliant and sadly under rated director-try and find Fear on trial,that certain summer
and amongst his theatrical films Last american hero with another fine performance from Jeff Bridges.

sadly Lamont johnson died last weekend at 88
