I think there's a thread on here somewhere about "Reds", the movie.

(32,342 posts)Like S_n_TN says, it's largely a love story, but Beatty got lots of interviews from people who were around at the time of events that are interwoven with the film . It's kind of amazing that the film got made in 1980, right at the dawn of the Reagan years.

Thanks for the happy birthday wishes. It's been a good day. My BFF and his wife called me about 7:50 this morning singing "Happy birthday to you" and it went on from there.
