Edward Herrmann's face flashed on the tribute screen, I flashed back to long forgotten "Harry's War"


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082503/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_113

A comedy I haven't thought of in years. Funny how that happens.

Storyline

Harry Johnson's aunt is a rich eccentric with an extensive collection of military memorabilia, who also happens to be in a fight with the IRS. When she dies of a heart attack, Harry blames her death on the IRS and takes up the fight himself. As Harry's cause gains attention and supporters, the 'war' soon escalates into a full-scale seige with Harry right in the center. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>

With Jane Alexandra.

I remember the first time I saw Jane Alexander. It was in All the President's Men. She played a CREEP staffer who had knowledge of the massive amounts of cash funneled through the GOP committee to reelect Nixon. Of course, I had read the book before I saw the movie -- such were the times. But I loved Dustin Hoffman shuffling paper (napkins,etc.) and explaining to Robert Redford's Woodward how difficult it was getting the story.

I really love Jane Alexander. She is a class act. As was Edward Hermann.
