    Editorial Reviews

    Adapted by Rod Serling from the best-selling novel by Fletcher Knebel and Charles Waldo Bailey II, Seven Days in May was allegedly inspired by the far-right ramblings of one General Edwin Walker. Burt Lancaster plays General James M. Scott, who, convinced that liberal President Jordan Lyman (Fredric March) is soft on America's enemies, plots a military takeover of the United States. Every effort made by President Lyman to find concrete evidence of General Scott's scheme is scuttled by political protocol, human error and accidental death. Ultimately, Lyman must rely upon the man who first uncovered the plot: Colonel "Jiggs" Casey (Kirk Douglas). John Frankenheimer's terse direction and Ellsworth Fredericks' stark black and white photography enhance the "docudrama" feel of Seven Days in May. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    August 14, 2004: 'SEVEN DAYS IN MAY' is a classic political thriller of the first order with a powerhouse cast of Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Frederic March, Ava Gardner, Edmond O'Brien, and Martin Balsam. At the height of the Cold War and with tensions with the Soviet Union at the razors edge, an unpopular American President is challenged by a traitorous military plot conceived by an Air Force four-star general to overthrow the federal government. Explosive. Outstanding. Don't miss it.
