HISTORY IN FILM. Nice little site looking at certain historically-based movies and closely annotating how they compare to the real history; a fair job.

Here's one on a film, Hamburger Hill, I read in script form and worked on the publishing of the novelization we commissioned, in the mid-Eighties (the book was of considerably higher quality than most novelizations, I like to think; the film, incidentally, is one of the best straight war movies set in Vietnam, and its cast of then-unknowns included such actors as Dylan McDermott, Courtney B. Vance, Michael Boatman, Steven Weber, and Don Cheadle).

Read The Rest Scale: 3 out of 5 as interested.
