From IMDB:
In the 1930s, three friends witness a murder, are framed for it, and uncover one of the most outrageous plots in American history.
On the plane back from London I watched this 2 hour 14 minute complete film.
Based on true facts, the film can still be called a comedy because it is full of almost outrageous antics by the three dedicated friends Burt, Valerie, and Harold. In time you will figure out who the bad guys (i.e. traitors to the U.S.) are and how they related to the trio of friends.
To clinch the patriotism theme, Robert de Niro does a somewhat corny but effective job as General Gil Dillenbeck.
Look for several cameo appearances.
Good enough for a plane trip!
From Amazon Prime:
In Season 3 of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Jack races against time and across Europe to stop a rogue faction within the Russian government from restoring the Soviet Empire and starting World War III.
From Amazon Prime you can stream season 3 of the Jack Ryan series. Season 3 consists of 8 episodes. Each episode runs between 45 minutes and an hour.
Continuing in the view of the first two seasons, this series treats us to one action event after the other. Along the way the cast of characters and their loyalties keep changing in possibly confusing rapidity. Flashbacks are vital in explaining the motives of the various actors in the plot.
Among the many good performance I would award a prize to James Cosmo for his portrayal of Luka Gocharov.
Expect 8 hours of constant excitement and possible confusion.
From MHz Choice:
Erica’s parents are killed in a traffic accident. She moves to Fjällbacka and discovers she has a brother.
From MHz Choice you can stream this excellent 1.5 hour TV drama from Sweden that does not seem to be part of any series.
Erica is married to a policeman. After they and their baby move to Fjällbacka, her husband joins the force. She is a stay-at-home mother but when there is a murder she cannot resist investigating, much to her husband’s chagrin.
Pay close attention at the beginning to all the many characters. Especially note the group of young Swedes who become involved in World War II and are elderly characters in the present-day story. Once you get used to the complicated story, watching is a suspenseful pleasure.
Finding such a good TV film was just plain good luck! DO NOT MISS!
Films Tony is comfortable recommending.
