- Quotes
Harry S Truman: Say, Rose, there's a story going around about me these days. It says that some old party hen is supposed to have cornered Bess at some party, and said, "Mrs. Truman, isn't there anything you can do to get the President to stop using the word 'manure'?" And Bess is supposed to have replied, "It took me forty years to get him to use that word!"
Featured review
On my Top Ten List for certain!
This movie was made the year I was born, and I only saw it because it happened to be on at midnight on some non-affiliated channel back around 1990. I taped this movie off television, and just about wore the tape out watching it. I did not know much about Truman prior to seeing this movie, but after having watched it at least 100 times, Whitmore makes me feel like I knew the man. Even as a teenager in the early '90s, this was one of my favorite movies. Truman clearly had a quick wit, and it comes through clearly in this masterpiece biopic. If this movie is not released on DVD or some other digital medium, I fear that it will not be seen by future generations. I have never seen it on television since that night almost twenty years ago. I saw the Shawshank Redemption (which was also an excellent movie), and I thought that Whitmore was even better in "Give 'Em Hell Harry".
