Happy Birthday, Wanda June

Happy Birthday, Wanda June is a 1971 American comedy-drama film directed by Mark Robson, based on a play by Kurt Vonnegut. The opening of this play is “This is a simple-minded play about men who enjoy killing, and those who don’t.” Big-game hunter and war hero Harold Ryan returns home to America, after having been presumed dead for several years. During the war, he killed over 200 men and women, and countless more animals — for sport. He was in the Amazon Rainforest hunting for diamonds with Colonel Looseleaf Harper, a slow-witted aviation hero, who had the unhappy task of dropping the atomic bomb on Nagasaki.
