Quotes
Ben Bagdikian:
There's a fella I overlapped with at RAND. He was a bit of a showboat; but, smart. And he worked for McNamara and he had opinions on the decision-making that went into Vietnam.
Ben Bradlee:
Okay.
Ben Bagdikian:
The word is, he doved. Pretty hard.
Ben Bradlee:
Would he have access to the study?
Goofs
When McNamara's plane lands in Washington towards the beginning of the movie, and he meets reporters to answer questions, there is a sign on the wall behind one of the reporters that says 'United States Air Force - Fort Andrews'. The Air Force doesn't have forts, they have bases - the correct designation would be 'Andrews Air Force Base'
