Give 'em Hell, Harry!

Give 'em Hell, Harry!

"Give 'em Hell, Harry!" is a biographical play and 1975 film, written by Samuel Gallu. Both the play and film are a one-man show about former President of the United States Harry S. Truman. "Give 'em Hell, Harry!" stars James Whitmore and was directed by Steve Binder and Peter H. Hunt.

During a speech by Truman in, Harrisburg, Illinois attacking the Republicans during the 1948 Presidential election campaign a supporter yelled out, "Give 'em Hell, Harry!". Truman replied, "I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them and they think it's Hell." Subsequently, "Give 'em Hell, Harry!" became a lifetime slogan for Truman supporters.

The movie was filmed on the stage of the Moore Theater in Seattle, Washington. James Whitmore was nominated for Best Actor for both an Academy Award and Golden Globe. It is only the third film to have its entire credited cast (Whitmore) nominated for an Academy Award, the first two being "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" in 1966 and "Sleuth" in 1972.
