Scott,

'The Quiet American' is next on my list of films to see.

I met a little boy in Saigon who was born with no arms, he is street begger, with a huge smile that seems to say that he has the world by the tail....well, he has a small part in the film. Look for a scene where a car blows up in the street..they hired him to be a "victim" of the explosion. They paid him $35 a day for shooting the scene. This kid was just amazing to watch work the streets (and me). Yen and I have a buddy that lives in Saigon, and has since '94. He is pals with this kid, and keeps an eye on him.

I find him in my thoughts very often. He has an infectious spirit.
