Original Title:

Operation Dumbo Drop

American GIs in ’Nam attempt to transport reluctant pachyderm across jungle terrain in order to placate residents of a strategically important village. It’s a watershed in America’s relentlessly tedious “coming to terms with Vietnam” that Disney can use one of the world’s grimmest military forays as a background for this tragically

ill-judged comedy, directed by the appropriately monikered Simon Wincer
