I saw this movie over the weekend also and was impressed with various parts of the film. The timeline was spot on with the attitudes of those times. The one part that stuck out to me was the never changing attitude of the Whitehouse staff chief. That it took the actions of the President to make the pay fair and opportuinty open to all. In what is the peoples house that should be the first example of fairness to all but was really last. 1980's
