Yes - the movie is from the early 1950s, starring Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner - it was about a planned military coup to take down a liberal (for that time) president. Great movie, except the ending was wrong. We want a different ending.
The movie is from 1964.
I actually watched it last night because of you mentioning it.
I agree a different ending...and I think they made the President sound too convincing.
