The Best Man is on TCM tonight at 8 PM !

Another good film, Fail-Safe (1964), starring Henry Fonda as a president who attempts to recall a nuclear bomber and prevent a nuclear war, and has to make complicated executive decisions on the advice (and against the recommendations) of his advisors, aired last night on TCM.
