    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The scenes of Truman's election night were filmed exactly where Harry Truman spent his election night. Truman went to bed on election night with reports predicting his defeat by Dewey at the Elm's Hotel Resort and Spa in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, USA.
    • Goofs
      When President Truman visits the White House kitchen staff to bring them some birthday cake, he switches on a radio to let them hear news of the end of WWII. The radio comes on the instant the switch is turned- which is incorrect for a radio of that era. Radios in 1945 utilized vacuum tubes. Radios (and later televisions) that used these tubes always took several minutes to "warm up" after being switched on.
    • Quotes

      Eleanor Roosevelt: Harry, the President is dead.

      Harry S. Truman: Mrs. Roosevelt, is there anything I can do for you?

      Eleanor Roosevelt: Oh! Is there anything *we* can do for *you*? You are the one in trouble now.

    After seeing Gary Sinise in this movie he became one of my favorite actors...
    After seeing Gary Sinise in this movie he became one of my favorite actors. I live in Independence, the proud hometown of Harry S. Truman. I was fortunate enought to meet Gary, who is one of the friendliest actors around. ( Only said hi but he smiled and said hi back with such warmth.) I think he's a great actor who will hopefully be around for years to come!!
