Anyhow with a matinee coupon in hand we went to town to see Argo, the little known story of the Iran hostage crisis where 6 American embassy workers were given refuge by the Canadian ambassador. Most Americans do not know of the rescue CIA covert operation and it wasn't until 1997 that President Clinton declassified the mission.
This movie reminds us of another time when U.S. policy interfered in the leadership of a foreign government... Sound familiar?
Directed and acted in by Ben Affleck. John Goodman and Alan Arkin enjoyed their roles.
Actual 80's footage included. Natureman reminded me that this time in history would be for our children like knowledge of WWII was for us.

This is one we want to see. We're going to see the new James Bond movie today because it's cold and windy and we're bored...and there's popcorn.
