I remember seeing this movie a couple of times in the late 60's. A very profound movie that was ahead of its time. It had a very great effect on me as a teen growing up. Gene Hackman and Jackie Cooper did great jobs in their roles. The raising of the American Flag was the most important scene in this movie. The dictator in this movie, as played by John Forsythe, smacks of what this county would be like under fascist or communist rule (both of which are on the left, people!): AKA Obama and his administration. The Society of Man in this movie is very much like the Tea Party movement of today: Both were vilified by the mainstream press and the dictator in power.
