I like the idea of a movie about Sterling Hayden, who smuggled weapons
to Tito's anti-Nazi guerillas for the OSS, joined the CP, finked on
his comrades, felt bad and became a leftist again, starred in "Dr.
Strangelove" (as the mad general), wrote two books (one
autobiographical), and married my aunt...

can be a film abut John Nash that wins Oscars, surely to Christ it is not
beyond the wit of man to turn men like Sweezy and Galbraith into movie
heroes.

A lot of interesting people were involved in the anti-Nazi war effort:
Paul Baran, Paul Sweezy, Herbert Marcuse, Sterling Hayden, etc. Is
there a movie somewhere in that?
