- Quotes
Harry S Truman: Say, Rose, there's a story going around about me these days. It says that some old party hen is supposed to have cornered Bess at some party, and said, "Mrs. Truman, isn't there anything you can do to get the President to stop using the word 'manure'?" And Bess is supposed to have replied, "It took me forty years to get him to use that word!"
Featured review
This Film should be available on EVERY STREAMING SERVICE RIGHT NOW!
Sorry Jack Nicholson - you were awesome in ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, but Whitmore channels Truman and he's on the screen 100% of the time! He looks like Truman, talks and acts like Truman; It's a marvelous performance and the documented items that he discusses, MacArthur, Nixon, McCarthy, White Supremacy, Liars in Public Office, Civil Rights: All are true and just as pertinent today and they were 70 years ago when he said them. It's a great history lesson and a very entertaining one as well. I just can't stress it long or loud enough, this should be on every streaming service for the public to watch. Great quote which is not exact, but paraphrased here: If you have someone in office lying long enough to the public, the public will start to believe the lies. This film was made in 1975 and the original quote is 70 years old - The future is here.
