Ha! Yes. I can’t remember where I put my car keys earlier today. But I sure do remember that old movie scene.

Seven Days in May is a 1964 American political thriller film about a military-political cabal's planned takeover of the United States government in reaction to the president's negotiation of a disarmament treaty with the Soviet Union.
I’d rather watch Dr. Strangelove myself. To each his own. I watched “Bridge Over the River Kwai” last night. TCM is about all I watch.
Two good picks as well!
In my opinion, the movie that best captures the events of these last few months is the conspiracy film “Brotherhood of the Bell”. Glenn Ford starred. Most folks have never heard of it. But if you get a chance to see it, you’ll never forget it.

I’ll check it out! Thanks!
Read the book back in the 60s, I believe in a Reader’s Digest anthology.
Book is more accurate than the film. One aspect I remember which pointed to the death of Adm Boorda and William Colby, the book points out that if the Chief of Naval Operations and the Director of the CIA both turned up unavailable under questionable circumstances, it would immediately flag to all Intel agencies that Domestic Enemies of the Constitution were operating against the US and a coup was likely underway.
The reason was that the CNO had a parallel intel organization which was independent of the other intel organizations, If one failed or was attacked, then the other might have indications of what was transpiring.
Not fully elaborated in the Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster film.
Here too....
Limit of news on tv of two hours.
Watched Marnie last night, the Hitchcock sleeper...fabulous!

I just looked. Somebody posted “Brotherhood Of The Bell” on YouTube. The Brotherhood in that movie acts exactly like the Deep State acts today. Support the Brotherhood, and you’ll do just fine. Challenge the Brotherhood, and you’ll be in for a world of hurt.
Pop some popcorn, then check it out.
I have the TCM app and Chromecast it to the tv upstairs through wifi. They usually have a selection of 2 or 3 dozen films to choose from. Normal tv is meh.
Brotherhood of the Bell is one of my favorite movies.
I got the DVD because I figured they would ban it some day.
Dean Jagger: “We will be hearing less and less from you...”
and William Conrad: “One ringy dingy, two ringy dingy”—the best performance of his career.
A must watch and must have movie imho.
btw, I got my “education” at “those schools”. :-)
Both good movies.

Excellent movie. William Conrad (Jake and the Fatman and Cannon) had a great part in the movie.
7 days in May is a great movie!
Thanks for the reminder of this one.
Ditto. Our cable has a classic western movie channel that shows Death Valley Days every afternoon. Always a good story is being presented.
