Meet Allen Dulles: Fascist Spymaster - Tracy Riddle - 09-10-2015
Speaking of deleted scenes, I love the one in JFK where the Denver oilman visits Garrison and tries to bribe him with a federal court appointment in exchange for dropping his case. Very powerful; should have been left in. "Well, they've just offered you the carrot. You know what comes next!"

Jon Voight.
Although politically, he and Dulles are not that far apart.
Joe McBride should chime in on this, since very few people know more about movies than he does.
Cate Blanchette playing the lead! A new world of PR! Female playing a male... Fictionized account of history. Many, many possibilities!

I vote for Kathy Bates as Dulles.

If you read Talbot's interview in Mother Jones, his book is being read in Hollywood.
He suggested William Hurt.
I have never particularly liked Hurt, for the simple reason that I do not hunk he is a very skilled, imaginative, or inventive actor. He looks the part, but that is about it.

If he was still alive: Philip Seymour Hoffman.
