<P>The only good war film is an anti-war film-- and most of them are. I saw "The Company" by Robert Altman last week-end. War in a Chicago ballet troop! Aggressive general marshalling his troops to do their all. Fighting under unpleasant conditions-- duet in the rain at an open air pavillion.Wounded soldiers-- pulled tendons, sprained arms-- you name it. Sex with civilian non-combatants--leading lady goes out with a sous-chef. Try it, you'll like it (or maybe hate it)!</P>
