This track is very good edited. There is a lot about the process of finance for this movie. This was very tricky. Every studio turned it down. The development of the characters, the differences to the novel and the first movie, the shooting in Vietnam, the historic background and the first screening a day before 9/11 are discussed.

Michael Caine talks about acting, his own war experiences in Korea as a young man and his role. These are very good points. For everybody this movie was a labour of love. The movie was hard getting made.

This is a perfect track without gaps. 10 out of 10.
