[Healeys] Saigon Healey

[Michael MacLean]

It was filmed in Thailand.  All the characters are speaking Thai and I was in Thailand not 5 years later.  Bangkok was not much different in the film than when I was there at that time.  Having had two Thai wives and speaking the language, it's all too familiar to me.
