Crisis 1950 movie with Cary Grant

I recorded several movies earlier this week so I would have something to watch on Inauguration Day. Last night I watched Crisis with Cary Grant and Jose Ferrer. It's about an American doctor and his wife vacationing in Latin America who get detained by the military in the country they are in. The tyrannical military dictator of the country has a brain tumor and will die without it being removed. He can't leave the country for the operation due to extreme civil unrest so he wants Cary Grant to perform the surgery. One conversation between the doctor and the dictator really struck me.


Raoul Farrago: [In a state of acute agitation] It is never military to retreat. Do you suppose I won these decorations by retreating?

Dr. Eugene Norland Ferguson: [to Farrago, sternly] Sit down, please.

Raoul Farrago: He says that my soldiers rebel against me. Our supply lines are cut. Students riot. People rise up against me. People! People do as *guns* tell them!

Dr. Eugene Norland Ferguson: [to Farrago] Lie here. You need rest.

Raoul Farrago: Rest? We're in a civil war, you understand. This is worse - far worse - than any other kind of war. Nothing destroys so much as civil war. Now, what is the answer to civil war? What stops it? Compromise? No! Truce? No! To give in? Never! The only answer is war. *Real* war, against an outside country. *Any* country. Everybody must come to the defense of his own country. Patriotism is a great weapon. Brother stops fighting brother when a stranger attacks. With one masterstroke we end this stupid civil war, we become valiant, courageous, defenders of our soil... patriots!

I'm not a conspiracy type person but I can see Donald Trump and his team stage some type of attack for this very purpose, take the focus off of all of the controversies around him and make him look like the great powerful leader he thinks he is.
