The President: [the President is referring to the White House] Do you realise this whole asylum is filled with yes-men? People who say "yes" when they mean "no" and "no" when they mean "yes". Do you know how that makes me feel? Do you realise that if anything happened to me, the Vice-President...
Secretary of Health: Don't say it!
The President: The Vice-President would be running this thing.
Secretary of Health: I don't even want to think about it.

The most brilliant political satire you've never seen.

Hail is a scathing political satire about a presidential administration gone mad with power and paranoia. A Nixon-type president becomes involved in political assassinations and establishing detention camps for "subversives" for the good of the nation. Richard Shull is brilliant as the Secretary of HEW and the president's most confidential advisor. Many other familiar faces appear here: Dick O'Neill (Barney Miller), Phil Foster (Laverne & Shirley), and Gary Sandy (WKRP in Cincinnati). I've watched this film again as the US is preparing for war in Iraq (3/03). Amazing connections to real life appear in this film. For instance: blaming the "liberal media" for dissent and detaining "undesireables" without due process. Leaning close to heavy handed at times, Hail nonetheless makes its point in a hilarious and chilling way. Hunt this one down.
