Not to nitpick but the Graham Greene book you mentioned was titled The Quiet (not 'Ugly': different book ;) American. ~Love~ all of your videos, thank you!
Great pictures. I covered the war from '67 through '70 and lived at the Caravelle, then had an apartment on Tu Do street a block away. Went back in '73 for 6 months and lived in the Continental Palace. Went back in '98, and everything had changed and the war a distant memory. What a great country.... only people who find whores (anyplace) are those who are looking for them.
Geez. The French have come and gone. The Americans have come and gone. We'll all be dead and gone . . . but the whores at the Continental Hotel will still be there.
This brings back memories. The old Continental Palace. I have a picture of me and a buddy in front of the South Vietnamese Marines staue which was torn down.

Great, great videos and effects. But it is "The QUIET American" from Grahame Greene, not The Ugly American....
