[The cover of Joe’s just-published book!]
Note to self. When checking microphones are working – it’s not just the guest who matters – check your own!!
Hence, the reason I have had to re-record my questions to a locally based author who has written a book describing how the depiction of the Vietnam War on the big screen brought about a change in how Hollywood handled something that was a defeat rather than a victory.
Joe Houlihan – an award-winning journalist and television producer – launched his book ‘Vietnam on the big screen: How the Vietnam War changed Hollywood” at BRLSI (Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution) last night. He is the convenor there for lectures on Military History.
As I wasn’t able to attend l caught up with him today at his Widcombe home.
With so many wars to choose from for movie material, I wanted to know why he’d chosen the Vietnam War.
