Good movie. Sean Connery as a North African sheikh is a bit much, but good nonetheless.

Maybe they will run it again. I would like to have known Teddy Roosevelt. Here's some quotes I found interesting...

There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.
Theodore Roosevelt

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
Theodore Roosevelt

The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer.
Theodore Roosevelt

Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.
Theodore Roosevelt

I remember that movie. I think Sean Connery played the Sheik.

Teddy Roosevelt's question of the Sheik: "What kind of rifle do you have?"

Yes, I would like to have TR around now too. Very extraordinary man.
