First time seeing this film, it was a good telling of the story that was Ike during the war years but for me the film I ever saw about Ike was played by Tom Selleck himself, Ike: Countdown to D-Day.

I'd like to believe the real life Ike was a lot smoother than the cheesy version acted out by Robert Duvall here. Cringeworthy doesn't even begin to describe the awkward relationship between the General and his driver. Tom Selleck's excellent portrayal of Eisenhower in the 2004 movie Ike: Countdown to D-Day is a much better portrayal.

Wholly agree with u, Selleck was much better; Duvall smiles too much, the scrip writers & director did a lously job.

Yes, I am a big Robert Duvall fan but I don't buy him as General Eisenhower, and the dialogue is poorly written. It's funny because right before I read your comment I thought " too bad they didn't get Tom Selleck for this movie" he was great in IKE
@jameshutchins607710 ай бұрын
Not sure cheesy is the proper way to put it. The portrayal…I find human and potentially comfortable so far in part 2.

Yeah I love Duvall but he plays it kind of tough where Ike was maybe more a realist saying some of those lines. I like just the small scene in Longest Day where One decides myself.

Churchill a fait venir De Gaulle à Londres depuis Alger, pour lui apprendre le débarquement allié, seulement trois jours avant. Ce qui explique sa colère. Il ne parlait déjà plus à la BBC depuis longtemps, et n'était même plus à Londres, mais à Alger, où était établi le gouvernement français provisoire. En fait, les Américains l'ont tenu à l'écart surtout pour pouvoir établir L'AMGOT et administrer militairement la France comme un pays vaincu. Des cadres américains avaient été formés en Angleterre pour prendre le contrôle de l'administration de la France. Churchill l'a appris à De Gaulle, qui n'était pas au courant de ça. Mais il s'est montré plus rapide, et a installé ses propres préfets, avant l'arrivée des administrateurs américains, avec leur fausse monnaie de carnaval imprimée aux États-Unis. Il y avait une grande estime mutuelle entre Eisenhower et De Gaulle. Ce qui n'était pas le cas de Roosevelt, qui détestait le général français. Il finira par céder, et le reconnaître comme seul représentant légitime de la France, en octobre 1944.

This should have been entitled "Ike and Kay". Honestly I think this would have been a much better movie without so much about the soiled "beauty" assigned to drive Ike.

Those in the military often have connections with the opposite sex when stationed away from home. When the return home, they return to their American families. I know men who have Korean and Vietnamese children they don't know and never talk about. Their Americam wives don't know about the children. According to the book Kaye wrote, she and Ike never had intercorse.

The interesting thing is Britain lost the empire because AMERICA pressured her to release all her colonies. So they lost the empire fighting Hitler. Even though Hitler offered an alliance to them and directly said he wanted NO British territory. Hitler repeatedly offered peace to the West and to Poland. Instead we destroyed Germany and enriched the communist. Then we gave half of Europe to the communist. These Nations in the east fought with Germany against the communist. Across Europe thousands volunteered to fight with Germany against the Soviet union. The Polish corridor which was almost completely German ethnicity should have been surrendered to the Germans. WW2 could have been completely avoided. Instead millions died..
