The war was worldwide, but his heart was somewhere else entirely.
Eisenhower the military man is the focus of this mini-series, his relationships with the other wartime leaders, and, very discreetly, his personal relationship with his driver, Kay Summersby.
Acting
Duvall's Eisenhower: gruff, vulnerable, and weirdly sexy?
