Storyline：" He immodestly tells Bonnie: "I ain""t good.I""m the best." Then, in the sunlight he gives her his gun and offers her to try a few shots, using an old rubber-tire swing as the target, while wind blows ominously through the bushes [a foreshadowing of the film""s final scene].This superb film was not nominated for a single Academy Award.Plot SynopsisDuring the opening scrolling prologue after the credits, Hellinger (in voice-over) apologetically informs the audience that he film ("a memory") is based upon facts, real people and events that he covered as a newsman during the 1920s - when Prohibition, speakeasies and gangster life pervaded the land:FOREWORDIt may come to pass that, at some distant date, we will be confronted with another period similar to the one depicted in this photoplay.[Note: Joseph Conrad""s novellaHeart of Darknesswas an inspiration for he film.]This war story""s screenplay, written by John Milius and Coppola himself (with a separate credit for Michael Herr for Sheen""s narration), became a metaphorical backdrop for the corruptive madness and folly of war itself for a generation of Americans."In an anonymous letter (from a "Sincere Admirer") sent at 5 pm from her incarcerated brother John/Jack Flower (James Stewart in his second feature film role, a very short on-screen performance at the end of the film, 5th-billed), she learned that his request for parole had been refused.
