LIVE POLL: Favorite True Story Movie the CIA Couldn't Keep Secret

@urbanemovies​ The United States Central Intelligence Agency was created on September 18, 1947, when Harry S. Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947 into law. On 18 September 2022, the CIA will mark the agency's 75th anniversary of its birth in its current and latest form.

@mariojacobs​ also the CIA imported nazi rocket scientists after WW2 to help startup NASA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip I can't remember any film title name now...

@mariojacobs​ If you remember the title names let me know.

I can't remember the name of the movie from the 60s, but this one deals with the same topic: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15470770/?ref_=kw_li_tt Camp Confidential: America's Secret Nazis the other one was Kill the Messenger already on the list.

@mariojacobs​ Operation Paperclip is a subplot of quite a few movies including 'Captain America: Winter Soldier', 'Fat Man and Little Boy', 'The Right Stuff' among others. It also has been exploited as a focal point in a episode of various TV series. The only movie that I can think of that it dominates the plot is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Crossbow or maybe this one. The Amazon streaming series, Hunter (2020) has a parallel plot element that entails the discovery of Operation Paperclip, the U.S. government operation relocating many German scientists (many of them Nazis) to the U.S.

@dan_dassow​ Thanks, done.

What do you mean, iverotter? In the sense that Jim Garrison never met with a retired United States army colonel named X? Well, maybe everything except for the courtroom scenes were made up by Garrison, and the lore was further augmented by Oliver Stone. Still, there was the whole fiasco of the invasion of the Bay of Pigs. I did find it odd that no mention of Operation Northwoods was shoehorned into the film by its director, but maybe no journalist knew about it at the time that the autobiographic novel was written let alone the film adaptation of it. So, in a way, the film hasn't aged well.
