DICK-GEORGE, TENN-TOM
Richard M. Nixon visited Mobile in 1971. He shook 100 feet of hands, lost a cuff-link, and shared a stage with his biggest political rival, Governor George Wallace. "Dick-George, Tenn-Tom" is a sardonic look at their rivalry, the creation of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, and the attempt on Wallace's life less than a year later. The film mentions the protest activities of some University of South Alabama students, one of whom was me.
