This episode belongs to one actor - Charles Durning. Having seen action that resulted in him being awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star, acquiring a Purple Heart, and being appointed a Knight of the Légion d'Honneur by the President of France, it may have been difficult for him to control his emotions while acting this part, so close to his own history, but we saw no trace of that - he took us through the script and showed us exactly what the script wanted us to see. What a professional! Having said that, the rest of the regular team creditably kept up their end of the effort, making Durning's performance seamless. It would be unfair not to mention Alicia Coppola's part, spiking up the story as Lt Cdr Coleman - there is another consummate professional.
