George Govus Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Wow, thanks for heads-up. TCM almost bagged me the other day, showing Lana Turner movies. They ran PT-109 recently. I meant to, but failed to give alert. So, good on you. Definitely will record the 1960 documentary. Maybe I've seen some of that Gabriel movie before, without knowing the Hearst connection. Interesting. I made a point of getting Executive Action on DVD. The Candidate is good, and I should watch it again. Seven Days In May got out-done by reality. I enjoy watching it almost like I do Fail-Safe or Dr. Strangelove. My favorite political movie, though, is Bullworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph McBride Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 A photograph I took at the big Milwaukee rally on April 3, 1960, that is the centerpiece of PRIMARY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph McBride Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 In the November 22, 1963, issue of the New York Times, there is a full-page, back-page advertisement for SEVEN DAYS IN MAY. It and DR. STRANGELOVE were supposed to be released in 1963 but were pushed back until the following year because of the assassination, and STRANGELOVE underwent some changes. The handwriting on the invitation below is Kubrick's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the best one isn’t showing - Dr. Strangelove. I keep a copy in case my friends have never seen it.

My parent's took me to see JFK campaign in Brooklyn circa 1960, but I was only four years old - too young to remember.

David Andrews Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 In 1962, when I was three, Nelson Rockefeller landed in a helicopter in our little town, running for re-election as New York's governor. My mother took me to see him, and as an older child I was shown a photo of Rocky shaking my hand, which I cannot find today. It is from that moment that I date my personal corruption.
