OT: Thayer David & "Missiles of October"
« on: July 09, 2003, 03:33:20 AM »
I've just been watching THE MISSILES OF OCTOBER, the 1974 TV movie about the Cuban missile crisis that features Dennis Patrick, Dana Elcar and Keene Curtis, among others.  But the narrator is not credited, and except for some hard "r"s in his speech pattern, it sounds like Thayer David.  Does anybody know if Thayer was the narrator on this production?  (Incidentally, this story is very relevant to the USA's recent involvement with Iraq. . .IMHO, JFK is a well-deserved hero due to his leadership during this situation.  I can't say the same about "W.")

But my question really is about Thayer David and not politics--I just had to add my two cents.

I've watched the second part of this movie, and it sounds like Thayer David even more to me.  Can anyone confirm his involvement?  Darren?  MB?

By the way, who is "BLC63"?  I used to be "Brian."  How did my name change?  :-

LOL. . .I finally get it.

I couldn't have explained it better myself.  ;D
