    Did the review mention the movie's star should have been executed
    for treason?

    Luckily, the US wasn?t an authoritarian Fascist state.

    Not back then, anyway ...

    I recall reading a letter in /Army Times/ (a rather specialized
    newspaper) from an Army wife stating that her performance in /Coming

    Of course, in those days we were, as you note, still somewhat sane.
