We have Reagan to thank for the odd custom of Presidents returning salutes. I went into the air force at the end of his presidency, and the etiquette was explained to me clearly when VP Bush visited WPAFB, though we expected him to violate it like Reagan. #SevenDaysInMay #TCMParty

One slight error in the portrayal of Kirk Douglas's colonel character leaving Fredric March's President character: the colonel would salute the President when leaving, but the President, as a civilian, should not return the salute. I do wonder if that was intentional. #SevenDaysInMay #TCMParty /

When I got to know senior commanders, I was surprised how realistically relationships between staff members was portrayed in #SevenDaysInMay. Serling knew his stuff, or the source novel gave him a good basis in the script. #TCMParty

There was a time, as a kid, when I thought the one Navy admiral declining to be in the "betting pool" without blowing the whistle was unrealistic in the US armed forces. Then I went into the air force and realized there are a lot of folks like that in command positions. #SevenDaysInMay #TCMParty

#SevenDaysInMay is also the reason every building the military has is numbered and accounted for. No new buildings can be erected without express Congressional approval, even if funding is available. You'll understand why as the movie goes on, if you've never seen it. #TCMParty

#SevenDaysInMay is based loosely on the nutcase USAF General Curtis LeMay, who admitted to another general that were WW2 to have gone the other way, they'd be tried as war criminals because of their firebombing campaigns against civilians. #TCMParty /

Burt Lancaster was 100 degrees smarter than Hegseth.
#SevenDaysinMay is one of my favorites... But I love those apocryphal cold war #neonoirs like that and #ManchurianCandidate ...

Lancaster has a relatively small role for top billing. March and Douglas have more screen time. Even O'Brien may have a bigger role than Lancaster. #SevenDaysInMay #TCMParty

The plane crash was convenient, like the United crash in Chicago that killed E Howard Hunt’s wife. #TCMParty #SevenDaysInMay

This was John Houseman’s first film role (Admiral Barnswell), and it was uncredited. He had been a successful producer. #SevenDaysInMay opened up an entirely new career with many memorable performances. #tcmparty

O'Brien, Lancaster, and Gardner were all in The Killers (1946) 18 years earlier. #SevenDaysInMay #TCMParty

“Some fellas have all the luck. Me, I get to go to Texas. It’s enough to make a man quit politics.”
No truer words spoken.

Boy, Frederick March is just amazing as President Lyman. It’s like he’s channelling Truman, Ike, JFK, LBJ, and Nixon all into his performance. He’s so convincing I’d vote for him in a heartbeat. #SevenDaysInMay #tcmparty
