Sorry to tell you Ken but who would have thought that an American writer and producer would create a movie that made them look like the hero's while twisting history to suit their own money making ambitions.

And, given the fact that ARGO has been sweeping the awards shows with no one questioning it's historical integrity it likely means Ken Taylor and his part in the story will be relegated to the scrap heap of historical accuracy.

I have no problem with books and movies that take artistic liberties, just don't go calling yourself a documentary. Worse though are the people that believe everything they see in them.

U-571, starring Harvey K-Tel and Jon Bon Jovi. This was when I decided to stop watching any more movies about WW2 from the American perspective.

And even worse than that is them portraying this as based on fact when the only fact was they forgot to tell the truth.
