Tubi - Seven Days in May (1964)

[OAITW r.2.0]

A couple of weeks ago, there was an OP asking what movie you'd like to see remade. I mentioned this one. Just rewatched it today - hadn't seen it in probably 20 years.

Cast: Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas. Frederic Marsh, Ava Gardiner, Martin Balsam, John Houseman, Edmond O'Brien.

Director: John Frankenheimer

A great movie about the attempted overthrow of the United States by a RW General (Lancaster). This movie and Dr. Strangelover were 2 of my favorite movies of this time. Seems really relevant as we watch a new Fascist attempt at subverting our Democracy.

1. I remember the movie

And read the book in my teens. Much better than the movie

2. Isn't interesting that there was so much awareness

about the right wing and fascism in the 60s. Another favorite from that time was Pressure Point (1962) with Sydney Poitier playing a prison psychiatrist and Bobby Darin playing a neo-Nazi in prison for sedition. BD was really good!
