Right. And 'Apocalypse now" was supposed to take place in be both VN and Cambodia where his weird 'off the reservation' outpost was. Although it was all filmed in the Philippines. Loved that movies!
Phillip, Yes Joseph Conrad. And Brando in the film "Apocalypse Now" in the half dark, muttering: "The horror. The horror." Thanks for the comment! The film "Lord Jim" with Peter O'Toole was also loosely based on J Conrad's book. Many thanks!
