I have to admit being that this was a made for TV movie, my expectations were low but this is a damn fine film. From what I've seen so far, Quaid is doing a stellar job capturing LBJ. Not an easy accomplishment.
I remember seeing it 35 years ago, Randy Quaid was so GOOD in this film, and it is the best "made for TV Film ever. Quaid NAILED THE GUY!!! The subject matter with Johnson was very good, without being very specific they painted a accurate picture of his awful personality. Johnson would have someone murdered to keep his career going then want the world to feel sorry for him when he was sick. The man was a full blown psychopath. Google up Mac Wallace, Henry Marshal death, Billy Sol Estes, John Connally, etc. There is plenty of material on the subject.
I had a friend that had a friend that knew another friends friend that said the President of Mexico said that Mexico would pay for the Southern Border Wall if Texas would be returned to the State of Mexico. 🇲🇽 Trump was correct Mexico will pay for the wall but thats a big if …🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♂️
I remember when this was on TV years ago, particularly the heart attack scene. This is the first place I've ever seen it available to view again. No one has portrayed LBJ better than Randy Quaid.
I had no idea how much of the film I missed. i did find it on the internet years ago but only 2nd half when he parked in Senate Majority leader's space. Randy Quaid did a MAGNIFICENT performance.
I remember seeing this in 1987. A reviewer asked when we would be seeing Part 2. We do have "All The Way" to fill-in the gap, but I would have preferred Randy Quaid.
18:50 Mamie Kleberg died in 1972, so she lived to see Lyndon become President of the United States. Her husband, Richard Kleberg, was defeated for renomination in 1944, and he died in May, 1955, so he lived to see Lyndon become Majority Leader of the Senate. It would be interesting to know what they thought of that.
Long suffering lady. All his affairs and two kids out of affairs…. And strangely son Steven died at about 30 from a “rare” cancer (he was the first affair baby, his mother had a 20 year affair with LBJ) Steven and his mother Madeleine Brown placed a claim on LBJ estate but Steven died just before the case in court.
They really toned it down. LBJ was the foulest mouthed President. The script could not put that in to the extent he was always cursing using F bombs constantly.
Not just that he used more dead names in views than Biden. More people voted in the last election than are registered to vote lol. He was so terrible he slept with prostitutes on airforce 1 while his wife was on board. At least Kennedy and Clinton tried to be discreet. Let us not forget how he lost his mind while in office. Like yet another president we know. Cracks me up that people believe politics has lost its integrity. It never had any.
Not to mention the Johnson Stevenson vote. More ppl voted in the last election than there were registered voters. Just like in the Johnson election. Do you know how that's true? Google keeps deleting it. LoL.
Not to mention the Johnson Stevenson vote. More ppl voted in the this time than there were registered voters. Just like in the Johnson election. Do you know how that's true? Google keeps deleting it. LoL.
Not to mention the Johnson Stevenson vote. More ppl pulled the lever recently than there were registered. Just like in the Johnson election. Do you know how you know that's true? Google keeps deleting it. LoL.
I read that LBJ was so crude he would call a Senator that was not committed to voting on a bill that President Johnson wanted passed and have a talk with the Senator while LBJ was sitting on the Toilet relieving himself in order to throw the Senator off guard . 😮
Never seen this movie and not sure I want to. Reading the comments make me believe it’s not an accurate portrayal of Rufus Compone, tied for the biggest crook, criminal and murderer in American history.
Watched this awhile back on dvd. I've since donated it to a library but glad to find it here, viewable anytime! I've long been fascinated by LBJ, reviled in some circles but he was an extremely effective politician & a landslide winner in Nov. '64. Until the Vietnam debacle, Johnson was immensely popular. Most politicians & winning presidential candidates of our past couldn't get a single vote today. The times & eras are so vastly different, as well as the issues. Entire populations & demographics of the U.S. have shifted & changed since the 60's. Our current era would be unrecognizable to them. I read somewhere once that Johnson wasn't terribly effective on TV as a general rule but he was magnificent in a crisis, which I thought was perceptive. Food for thought. There are moments in this film where one could swear he or she's seeing the real LBJ, certain camera angles, etc. For a political history buff like me, this TV movie was great. Such films no longer appear on TV it seems. There used to be frequent ones on the Kennedys, Quaid's LBJ, one or two on Nixon, Truman, Ike, the latter usually in relation to WW2, etc. Reagan's had a couple or so, I believe. The generations who knew these presidents well, having lived simultaneously through their times, mostly are gone now or no longer much care, so that's probably why. Hard to imagine TV films being made anymore about such post-Nixon presidents such as Ford, Carter, or the Bushes. Trump & Obama probably will get something done on them in the future. Biden? Not a chance.
29:43 I'll bet Lady Bird Johnson was thinking that her husband might someday become one of the most famous men in America, a man that will make her both proud and famous too, and indeed he did
Bravo! Thanks for posting this, mah fellow Murcan! Quaid does indeed do a marvelous job, although I think Bryan Cranston surpassed him. But this is a marvelous evocation of the young Johnson.
I believe this is the movie where Rand Quaid made network Tv history by being the first person to pee on network TV. They said LBJ had cabinet meetings in the toilet.
Of course it's inaccurate..the whole entire johnson presidency was by design anyway....his good friend and personal attorney Ed clark...helped put his good buddy in office.
I’ve found that most of the films about Presidents and political figures have been better served in television format. The Truman film with Gary Sinise, the Lincoln film with Rob Morrow as Booth are two that come to mind. Not sure if that’s because they are able to take more time with the story or what exactly it is but it’s pretty obviously the case.
Wow, I never seen Randy Quaid carry a role like he did here. I was a child coming up in the Kennedy , Johnson era. I feel like, I had a front row seat to all that was going on then and must say. President Johnson has never gotten the recognition for all the great things he did. He was the first President to pass meaningful civil right legislation which affect us in the south. Good movie and bravo to Randy Quaid for such an Oscar performance.
@@misterwhipple2870 As a kid then approaching my draft age and the quagmires it was, I take it like, I do Korean war, up to most of all Afghanistan. All these lives lost and mangled bodies that came back. A waste..a tremendous stupid tragedy and these countries never changed.
Randy could play a prospector looking for gold in 1849 in a movie with Austin Butler, Brendan Fraser, Colin Hanks, Grey Delisie, Catherine Taber and Will Ferrell.
This film has been a very pleasant discovery. A magnificent performance by Randy Quaid. Whenever l find myself in a discussion of the US Presidents, particularly LBJ, my colleagues are always surprised when I say that this lone star leader is at the top of my Presidential rankings. Like this movie shows, I try and direct their attention upon LBJ's public career before he attained the highest office. Few Presidents can match the accomplishments that LBJ did in winning a seat in the US House of Representatives, a Senate seat and most significantly being appointed as the Senate party leader. Although the party leader of the Senate is a position that has only existed for just over a hundred years, LBJ is the only one that has gone on to reach the Oval office. Only Bob Dole whom was a giant in his own right came close. Fortunately the future will continue to vindicate LBJ's legacy because all credible historians can agree that Vietnam was nothing more than a poisoned chalice forced into his hands.
it didnt hurt him that the little texas town where the senate runoff was decided was a town where Klebergs had a handle on, Alice., Texas was named for Alice Gertrudis King, daughter of Richard King and matriarch of the Kleberg clan seen here. the senate election was rigged from the box 13 ballot stuff, to the town where judges ruling was in Kleberg's pocket, and the local party boss George Parr, who LBJ made use of IRS connections to pinch Parr right at the precise moment to add in the extra votes to his side.
Why don’t you show the mini series called The Dismissal about the constitutional crisis in Australia in 1975. That was shown on Australian television in 1983.
I thought that Woody Harrelson did an excellent job as LBJ - it's not an easy role to act. Nuances of body language, accent, etc - are difficult to sell, but vital to playing LBJ. And I gotta say - young Randy Quaid knocked this outta the park. It's just about perfect.
Not a fan of LBJ, but sometimes they try to sneak bad things with a bILL like that... but all the media will say is LBJ REJECTS ANTI LYNCHING BILL. Like the PATRIOT ACT....if you vote against it you're anti American...and that bill erased half 5he constitution
You obviously didn’t watch the movie. Try studying with a little nuisance, he answered that question as president- he was free at last free at last🎉. Maybe you shouldn’t have sluffed so much school.😮
Johnson's lies got the US into war in Vietnam. I studied. That's how I know his record and history. He was forced to pass the Civil Rights Act. Don't be so condescending and nasty.
Quaid played LBJ and really understood the Johnson treatment and how he handled constituents and domestic and foreign policy plus working with Presidents Roosevelt Truman and Eisenhower as well as Vice President under President Kennedy before becoming President Johnson after the Kennedy Assassination in November 1963. Peter Russo Nov 25, 2024
No, it is a fairly accurate portrayal of the man and those times. In many respects, LBJ was one of the most effective Presidents that this nation has had. The Viet Nam War will always cast a dark shadow on President Johnson, although the man tried his very best to win an unwinnable war.
It's a movie. It's a movie made to brush off the tarnish on lyndon johsons battered legacy. And it doesn't fly. He was a bastard to others, he spoke about his wife and taped the calls-- horribly disgusting and embarrassing. He behaved like an oversized 12 year old with any woman within reach. He didn't give a damn about "colored people"- only insofar as how he could use them to further his political career. The day JFK was murdered was most likely one of the best and happiest days in his life. He went back to his ranch, with his whiskey and paranoia, and I don't remember many tears falling on the day that he died.
LBJ calling the assassination a "conspiracy" is like calling the kettle black. He KNEW it was a conspiracy because he was part of it... as time goes on, the real truth is the CIA and FBI had a big hand in this and killed Kennedy because he was going to close down the CIA because they were working with organized crime for many years.
I have to admit being that this was a made for TV movie, my expectations were low but this is a damn fine film. From what I've seen so far, Quaid is doing a stellar job capturing LBJ. Not an easy accomplishment.

Randy did one hell of a great job, and his brother Denis' portrait of Reagan was just as good. Two brilliant actors.....

Haven’t seen this in years. Thanks for the upload.
I saw this as a kid in the 80s. Now at 47 how different I see things, people, politics, everything. Good movie for TV.
This movie is very good. Should be televised often since they usually show Lincoln, Roosevelt and Kennedy
Fun facts about Patti Lupone that she played two First Ladies Eva Peron in Evita and Lady Bird Johnson!
Thank you so much for uploading this! One of my favorite movies
Randy Quaid was genius in this. Totally underrated.
And Patti LuPone!
Randy Quaid is great in any movie he's in.
not Vegas Vacation, that was the worst of the Vacation movies
@@DaveFisher-cq2dryour uneducated opinion
@@trickolas78 well it's true
Too bad he lost his damn mind!😂
@@skate103 yeah, by sending thousands of American troops to Vietnam
The way Lyndon Johnson talked it could make a preacher blush.
Or reach for his Luger.
And this tv movie couldn’t show all his “F” bombs he was known for too.
I remember when this was on TV years ago, particularly the heart attack scene. This is the first place I've ever seen it available to view again. No one has portrayed LBJ better than Randy Quaid.
How about Woody Harrelson as LBJ.
Michael Gambon 👈😉
in "Path to War"...
Top notch performance by Quaid.
Check out the woody Harrilson version
10:25, 1:20:07, 1:23:05, 1:25:28, I remember watching this movie as a kid. WOW this was really good and Randy Quaid was excellent as LBJ.
@@tony84. yes Randy seemed to intuitively know exactly LBJ inflection and all. He should have received an Emmy.
I had no idea how much of the film I missed. i did find it on the internet years ago but only 2nd half when he parked in Senate Majority leader's space. Randy Quaid did a MAGNIFICENT performance.
At 2:21:48, you expect him to say, "Jackie, it's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year."
i bet you could use a cold one
Thankyou so so much,been trying find this movie for yrs and yrs without success,untill now.
Thanks for sharing LHF.
Patti Lupone was a dead-ringer to play Lady Bird Johnson in this one !!
Thanks for this show.
Having just heard of this. I now realize both Quaid brothers played a president. Randy played Johnson here, and Dennis would play Ronald Reagan.
I remember seeing this in 1987. A reviewer asked when we would be seeing Part 2. We do have "All The Way" to fill-in the gap, but I would have preferred Randy Quaid.
Been waiting for this to get posted!

Amazing that Bird outlived Lyndon.😊
By over a third of a century
Well Lyndon had several heart attacks, including the one that killed him
How so? Johnson smoked, drank...ate bacon and ice cream for breakfast while sexually harassing the negro maid..
34 years
Looking for this again, I'm a republican but enjoyed this movie
1:38:42, 1:42:31 LBJ vs RFK, that was one for the ages and I wasn't even born! Did the feud start here?
1:26:11 THERE NOW, you see what all that stress, anger and rage can cause, a heart attack!
Many short cuts but overall an excellent presentation of his early life.
I think this program underrated Claudia by a lot.
Fun fact Claudia Johnston is my first cousin four times removed

Why do you say that?
@@PaulaBarch Any woman married to Lyndon deserves a lot of credit. And sympathy. She was the only person who could keep him under control.
He was very hard to live with Nasty too
Great acting!
Go see the movie - Path to War! The best LBJ movie ever done!
Great movie
Quaid and lupone very very well done
Aside from his political views Randy Quaid always has been an outstanding actor.
What politics? He's homeless
@@user-wy1dl2me2p
He still has political views warped as
they may be.

LBJ to pass on Vietnam MTV early 90s???
1:40:36 “Well, today you’re gonna get your deer from Texas”. Classic
Good movie thanks
1:16:45 JFK meets LBJ. 1:39:00 RFK meets LBJ. 2:16:50 Mr. President.

Excellent!
Their second child Luci was born in 1947.

Bravo! Thanks for posting this, mah fellow Murcan! Quaid does indeed do a marvelous job, although I think Bryan Cranston surpassed him. But this is a marvelous evocation of the young Johnson.
Excelling acting from Dennis Quaid. Aside from his crudeness, President Johnson was a great politician and president.
RQ should have one an Oscar for this role.
very interesting indeed
randy's brother dennis is playing ronald reagan in movie regen
GOOD MOVIE 🎥
Their first child Lynda was born in 1944.
a great movi randy quaid should have won a oscar
It was a tv movie, so not eligible for an Oscar. He was, however, nominated for an Emmy and he won a Golden Globe for it.
Finally
Oh, I see, 1987 was when this was made. Ooops.
I think this biopic was a little too kind to LBJ
I believe this is the movie where Rand Quaid made network Tv history by being the first person to pee on network TV. They said LBJ had cabinet meetings in the toilet.
great acting.
This tv movie is grossly inaccurate. Kennedy put LBJ in charge of the space program and he sent him abroad like to germany at the berlin wall in 1961.
What?
So, LBJ gave the speech, Ich bein Berliner?
@@FredPena-rd5cf no he did not.
@@3dartistguy i know the other poster said he sent him to the wall in Berlin in 1961. I was being sarcastic.
