From remote and hazardous locales in South Vietnam comes this documentary report on what the United States Army, Air Force, and Navy are doing to contain the spread of Communism. THE BIG PICTURE camera crews on location in South Vietnam show the military operations of our Special Forces units--how they live--how they operate--and what they are doing to help the Vietnamese. The host-narrator of this issue is television and motion picture star Mr. James Arness.
James Arness vs. Bill Conrad...great Hollywood story. Bill ("Cannon") was Matt Dillon on CBS Radio for 10 years, starting 3 yrs. prior to the TV series.
