New Years Eve |
720th Opens Its Outdoor Movie Theater The Battalion outdoor theater was constructed using troop labor. Films were shown nightly (except Tuesdays) for personnel of the unit through a Battalion account with the Armed Forces Motion Picture Service, Saigon. This greatly improved the morale of the men. The first film was The Chase starring Marlon Brando. Although the theater was nothing more than a wooden screen painted white and canvas cover to keep the elements off, it was better that nothing.
