Fast paced 70's spy movie

Good movie to save and watch, not the best quality video though

It’s Arthur Hill not Hall. Interesting cast beyond the two you listed.

and Russell Johnson. Reminds me of a 3d movie house showing I saw back in the 1980s of It Came From Outer Space. Russell Johnson years before Gilligans Island had a bit part in it and when he appeared on screen a whole bunch of us in the theatre yelled It’s the Professor! Everyone laughted.

Isn’t this one about Walter Jenkins, LBJ’s Chief of Staff that had problems doing homo things in public bathrooms?

Forgive me, I am a gen xer, born in ‘65, I get stuff wrong from time to time. But it is an interesting movie

Hadn’t heard that. However, I didn’t seriously follow political stuff until I was 26 (1980), when the Cawtuh administration was destroying the farming industry with the Rush-uh grain embargo.

(They still got grain though, through other channels, and at a lower price. So I was told by a cousin to a grain trader who worked at the CBoT.)

I thought I saw that movie and I couldn't remember any of the details.....now I do. A classic!

Screw the video . . . I just finished LISTENING to it like a radio program.

Television USE#D TO BE written like that and at my age, I prefer audio book type media . . . I never watch the news, I listen to it.

Outside of the anti-nuke conclusion, I loved it.

Thanx for the post.

"A month before the 1964 presidential election, on October 7, District of Columbia Police arrested Jenkins in a YMCA restroom. He and another man were booked on a disorderly conduct charge,[4] an incident described as "perhaps the most famous tearoom arrest in America."[5] He paid a $50 fine.[6] Rumors of the incident circulated for several days, and Republican Party operatives helped to promote it to the press.[7] Some newspapers, including the Chicago Tribune and the Cincinnati Enquirer, refused to run the story.[8] Journalists quickly learned that Jenkins had been arrested on a similar charge in 1959,[9] which made it much harder to explain away as the result of overwork or, as one journalist wrote, "combat fatigue."[10][11]"

It's from Wikipedia, but that's about it...
