That "fish" has been in every body of water I've ever encountered (including my bathtub!) for as long as I can remember! (I saw the movie waaaaay too young I'm thinking!)

I know what you mean . . .I could even hear the music whenever I was near water! The first attack scene when it snatched that girl . . .man, that scared the stew outta me!

Argo - I loved it. This sure did bring back some memories of what was going on at the time. I was 19-20 years old when this was going on. This is the first that I've heard of the Canadian movie angle, though. Good stuff.

I'm sure this story is "enhanced" for a movie audience but I think it is reasonably accurate.
I think the Canadian Embassy was a lot more involved in that rescue than was shown but it was kept all hush, hush for security reasons

The Canadians in the embassy risked their lives to hide those 6 Americans. Every one of the Canadians would have been killed if the Iranians found out the Americans were there.

Have not seen the movie but I will be sure to watch it at Christmas once my husband returns home. I am just going by what I remember of the actual event (in real life) :semi-twins:
