...thought the situation required. He cooperated with the expansionist policies of President Kennedy when the nation's economic problem was sluggish growth and persistent unemployment. In late 1965, however, he refused to accept Lyndon Johnson's line that the U.S. could escalate the Viet Nam war, keep taxes and interest rates down and still avoid inflation; the Federal Reserve tightened credit, to L.B.J.'s displeasure...

There is a thunderous, pseudo-symphonic score to delude the audience into believing that various moments are tense, exciting, exhilarating, tragic, or all of those things at once. It also helps keep people awake during the movie's interminable 2-hr. 10-min. running time, in which it often seems that The Battle of Britain takes longer to watch than it did to wage...
