Loved that movie when it came out(tried to talk my parents into taking me back to see it several times), loved reading the original story too.
A bit of piss and vinegar to Charles's story, but it's a good read and has lots of amusing touches.
Ray Bradbury wrote the intro to the copy of the story I had; fascinating history to the story - most of it written while Charles and other US troops stood by on ships in Shanghi harbor during one of the post WWI revolutions the Chinese were having.
Thanks for the link - will have to try ordering a copy of DVD when I have money.
