Love em Has become one of my top periods. The credits show Jules Roy, is he the DBP Doctor/author? Thanks John |

Jules Roy would have to be the author, he wrote La Bataille de Dien Bien Phu but I don't think he was ever at DBP. Doctor, there you would be thinking of Grauwin. link
He wrote J'étais médecin à Diên Biên Phu. I have the English translation Doctor at Dien Bien Phu, a very interesting book. |

It is the very same Jules Roy that is the author of The Battle of Dien Bien Phu and the director of this film. He was a Press officer in Vietnam when the film was made but resigned his commisson in 1953. |
