About this listen

Robin Williams said he wasn't sure he was leading man material until he picked up the script for this comedy about a military DJ fighting authority in Saigon. Backed by an incredible cast of supporting actors, he delivered one of the hits of the 80s, helped by a soundtrack album that every teenager knew by heart.


James Cary knows a thing or two about finding the humour in war. As well as working on Miranda, he co-wrote the Afghan bomb-disposal sitcom Bluestone 42 -- very much one our listeners will enjoy. He joins us to explain why director Barry Levinson set an especially difficult bar for Williams in this film, and how the comedian easily cleared it. Read more about James here.


Next week: The Bridge At Remagen.
