The whole picture, watching the news, reminds me of The Bedford Incident

a film from the mid-60's.

Logical and reasoned war-mongering which escalates to a horrific ending.

Having lived through the Fifties and Sixties, it scares the crap out of me that we are once again poised to make Russia our enemy and vice versa. It was a very bad time in America, despite what black and white comedies and family shows you might see on TV LAND.

today's audiences wouldn't have the patience for it. They would rather see aliens in Battleship.

Really?

:lol:

Modern audiences could not tell a movie that is making a real point... we do not write like we used to.
