G6600 GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM (USA, 1987) Credits: director, Barry Levinson ; writer, Mitch Markowitz. Cast: Robin Williams, Forest Whitaker, Tung Thanh Tran. Summary: War/comedy set in and around Saigon in the 1960s based on the true story of Adrian Cronauer. Cronauer (Williams) is an irreverent, nonconformist Air Force enlisted man who works as a disc jockey on Armed-Forces Radio in Saigon early in the Vietnam War. Imported by the Army to host an early morning radio show, Cronauer blasts the formerly staid, sanitized airwaves with a constant barrage of rapid-fire humor and the hottest hits from back home. The G.I.’s love him, but the brass is up in arms. Adair, Gilbert. Hollywood’s Vietnam [GB] (p. 4, 210) Alion, Yves. “Good morning, Vietnam” Revue du cinema hors ser. 35 (1988), p. 50- 51.
