The juicy soundbites: "blood test for LOYALTY", "some slack for my nut sack", etc. etc. long before the twit of tweets. An accidental president (after JFK); tug of war between Lyndon Baines Johnson and Martin Luther King; 60+ days of filibuster on the Civil Rights Act. All this on the tumultuous first year of LBJ's presidency. Then came the Vietnam war... For those too young to remember this chapter of U.S. history, this HBO film shows that politics can be nobly poetic, complex, and sometimes pork-o-graphic. See also Bryan Cranston in Trumbo, (about Hollywood black-list and witch hunt).
