Was on A&E, 2 hr movie, with Tom Selleck as Ike.
Man, was Degaulle such a fucking bastard in real life as he is
in the film?

I watched it for five minutes and couldn't get past how much Tom Selleck doesn't look like Ike.

Recorded it, but didn't watch it all yet.
But from the few parts I've seen, it looks like a good movie.

Well, considering he actually said things like:
"When I am right, I get angry. Churchill gets angry when he is wrong. We are angry at each other much of the time."
"You may be sure that the Americans will commit all the stupidities they can think of, plus some that are beyond imagination."
"When I want to know what France thinks, I ask myself."
"I was France."
"A great country worthy of the name does not have any friends."

Caught the last half. I was hoping for a more realistic portrayal than the idol-worship, Ike-can-do-no-wrong treatment, but I suppose it's to be expected.

true, but at least they got DeGaulle right.
