- OSCAR WINNER:Best EditingBest ScoreBest SoundBest Sound EffectsIn the middle of the 20th century, America pondered its future -- and looked to the skies. Based on Tom Wolfe's book, The Right Stuff is the tale of how that future began, a thrilling epic of intrepid test pilot Chuck Yeager and the seven pioneering astronauts of the Project Mercury space program. Nominated for eight Academy Awards, including "Best Picture," Philip Kaufman scripts and directs, pushing the envelope with a filmmaking bravado that matches this soaring story of training and heroism; and of sudden fame for which there is no training. Ed Harris, Barbara Hershey, Sam Shepard, Dennis Quaid and Fred Ward are among the perfect cast of this winner of four Academy Awards that remains the stuff of must-see entertainment. Let's light this candle, flyboys!

Lyndon Johnson learned days later about Mrs. Glenn’s speech impediment. He sent a personal telegram to her apologizing for making her feel pressured in any way, Lady Bird Johnson then made a very quiet trip to visit Annie Glenn and the two ladies became fast friends. Mrs. Johnson never mentioned the stuttering issue in any public forum, ever.
When our leaders, and their wives, had class and dignity.
Very touching. I like that. Good on LBJ for offering an apology. Not something to be taken for granted given the fact that it's coming from someone so high up in the government
This is a nice and important post-script. Thx.
@@dcnole Agreed. It's a heartwarming thing
LBJ had class and dignity, yeah...
that's a nice fact I didn't know.
Glenn backed up his wife. That's the Right Stuff all the way.
and the crew backed him up.
100% .
In these times...a man standing by his wife is far an few between...
We have left this part of our lives slip away forever...
Our value now are brought with what ever they show us...sad, ain't it...
Life's going to hell, in a hand basket...
Good luck folks...
@@kirk4086 whatever
Semper Fidelis, in the purest sense.
I actually asked John Glenn himself about this scene in the movie, he said "I went in to take a shower, when I got out, the guys demanding I call my wife back were gone." His wife stood up to them and Glenn backed her.
Great scene! John was married to Annie for 72 years until he passed away at the age of 95 in 2016. ❤️
And now Annie is with John among the Stars...
She died in May 2020 because of fucking COVID..
@@SpartanStan156 Also, she was ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD. Maybe that might have something to do with it.
@@mikespeed20082 Yeah, I think that's the more realistic and plausible reason. A century old instead of a bug would be it.
His politics aside...a Great Man. This is what A Man (as opposed to a male) Does!
@@stevenwiederholt7000 Yes indeed. 1000% agree.
"Who you gonna get?"
One of my favorite lines from any movie ever.
The guy didn't understand that the wives didn't sign up for the bullshit that went with the job.
Love this scene. I love how protective he is with Annie and supports her not wanting to meet Johnson or be in front of the press. This shows how much they loved each other and had each others back.
72 years...I am only half way there but I would hop down Satan's THROAT if I was doing a Ass dangerous deal like that and my wife was scared because of the press...
how Ed Harris (and Dennis Quaid and Fred Ward) didn't get Oscar nominations is a great tragedy.
Too many to pick from. It's like The Godfather. Everybody is great in this film.
Ed Harris plays John Glenn in this movie, then does a great job of playing Gene Kranz in Apollo 13.
Why would any sane person care about something as meaningless as an Academy Award? Those actors knew what a great job they did. They don't need some stupid trophy to remind them.
@@HandGrenadeDivision - "Who's the greatest pilot you ever saw?"
It's bizarre how the film had such a muted impact - the Ladd Company had a knack for making great films that didn't do well at the box office.
The story about this was that after John Glenn backed up his wife in not allow Vice President Johnson into the home, Chris Kraft, the boss, said that he was thinking of replacing john Glenn on this flight. He was told by his subordinates that if he did this was the one issue that the astronauts would come together as a brick wall against him and would refuse to fly. Then the matter would be turned over to President Kennedy. Chris Kraft was told that if Kennedy had to choice between a nameless government bureaucrat or the 7 hero astronauts, then he would lose big time. So he backed off in replacing Glenn.
Plot twist: Kennedy confronts Johnson and tells him to back down and stop being such a dick, so Johnson gets pissed and decides to assassinate Kennedy....
Kraft always had a Problem with the Astronaut Office. He was jumping for Joy in the 70s, when through some Underhanded Politics by him, he got the Astronaut Office under his Umbrella. I have always thought of him a Pr**k and an Asshole. I would love to tell him off to his face.
@@pjimmbojimmbo1990 And he had it out for Gordon Cooper.
@@dalethelander3781
Add Scott Carpenter, Wally Schirra, Walter Cunningham, Don Eisle, and a few others to that list. I read somewhere, he was really pissed at Aldrin, when during the Flight of Gemini 9, when there was discussion about freeing the shroud blocking the Docking Port on the Augmented Docking Target Adapter(back up for a lost Agena target). Apparently Aldrin suggest that Cernan just go over to the Adapter and cut the metal bands that were preventing the shroud from releasing.
@@pjimmbojimmbo1990 I was just counting the Moonwalkers.
"YES SIR!!!" Ed Harris has the greatest bellowing scream in Hollywood.
He was channeling John Glenn's inner Marine...Nailed it.
If you like Ed Harris bellowing, you should check him out in "Glengarry Glenn Ross." His character in that movie isn't as 'noble' as John Glenn, but he's entertaining as hell.
@@pcbacklash_3261 now THAT is Ed Harris at his angriest and his finest.
And yet I find his screaming YES SIR!! very polite and diplomatic. Some other person with less control might have punched or head-butted the guy. .
"Who you gonna get"? Great scene among dozens in that film. One of the best of all time.
I liked Scott Glenn's shove there at the end. The man meant business
Funny Scott Glenn usually plays the badass but was great in Surfer, Dude.
Alan fuckin Shepherd.
@@jhanick , the Icy Commander.
Guy: "Hey, Shepard shoved me! He can't do that!"
Other guy: "Well...he just did."
True story. LBJ was a man who almost always got what he wanted, but not this time. John Glenn was a great man.
LBJ was an SOB
The arm-twisting didn't help Johnson this time!
Evidently his wife was a great woman also!
@@KevinDavis338 Yes he was.
@@KevinDavis338 Look up what LBJ said about MLK if you want to see what a real SOB he was, IMHO.
Annie Glenn played by Mary Jo Deschanel, mom of Zooey and Emily.
And when she smiles at 1:15, you can certainly see it. Interestingly, she also played an astronaut's wife in "2010"
Annie was even more beautiful.
And wife of cinematographer Caleb Deschanel, who shot this film. I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with him at the Academy in Beverly Hills in June 2009.
@@CaptainDangeax nope
@@acer3573 "nope" to what?
The brilliance of this scene is that the establishment, and the audience, realizes that the previously competing astronauts will now be in solidarity.
"OH YEAH?..." loved it, that back up wasn't a moment away.
You couldn't have picked a better actor to play John Glenn than Ed Harris. He resembles him so much,, that it is uncanny.
My favorite part of the movie... You gotta back your wife up 100%. And in my eyes, Colonel John Glenn, being upset, still did it respectfully. He did a phenomenal job, and his boys backed him up... RIP Annie.
One of my favorite movies and such a great scene.
They communicate such love ...
And then how all the rest
of the guys back John up
Gives me chills
Step aside, pal
There are movies that suck you in every time you come across them. No matter how many times you've watched. This is one of them for me.
Agreed. 3 that do it for me are Jaws, Apollo 13, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I haven't seen this movie on like 20 years, but for some reason this is the scene I remember most. Fun fact: Mrs. Glenn is played Mary Jo Deschanel, and the move's cinematographer was Caleb Deschanel. They are the parents of actresses Zooey and Emily Deschanel.
One of the greatest films ever made.
The new TV show of the same name digs a little deeper than this great film...Check it out!!
Kkkkk. The moment Shepard pushes the guy is really funny!!
John Glenn has always been a personal hero of mine, and this is a key part of why. A man of integrity who loved his wife dearly, a courageous pilot, and a trailblazing astronaut. And it's clear from this scene that he had friends who backed him up all the way.
This scene is just another reason that this is a mic-drop movie...! God Bless John Glenn and the entire Mercury team of astronauts, technicians, and staff...true AMERICAN heroes!!!
I have been a fan of Ed Harris sine I saw His first starring role in Knight Riders" when I was a teen. He is still great.
I saw him first in Apollo 13 and was floored by his performance as Gene Kranz. Really great actor
John Glenn, a true hero! From a Canadian fan! We thank you John, R.I.P.
The actress playing Annie Glenn is the mother of Emily Deschanel.
Which means she's also the mother of the incredibly yummy Zooey Deschanel
almostfm Which also means she’s the wife of Caleb Deschanel, who was the cinematographer for _The Right Stuff._
Which means she was also in the movie 2010, the 2001 sequel
She did a great job.
Ed Harris, what a great actor!
Ed Harries yells in all his movies and it’s awesome
John truly loved his wife. He did what he had to do to protect her. Consequences be damned. And it was awesome his fellow astronauts backed him up in his decision.
Such a great scene all around! John Glenn standing up for his wife like a boss then his boys has his back the whole way
It all ties back to that earlier "keep it zipped" scene in the locker room..."To them we're a bunch of...college-trained chimpanzees!"
Love the grin of Shepard!
The astronauts knew Mrs. John Glenn had a speech impediment but the NASA brass did not. It is a testimony to John Glenn that he would fall in love with a woman with a disability. He should have run for President. A true American hero.
He DID run for prez. 1984 but he couldn't get a campaign off the ground, so to speak.
There was a reason. He wasn't dirty enough and then of course no one could have beaten Reagan that year. Absolutely no one. His time to run for President should have been in '64 or '68 but the country was a mess. His place was always going to be in the Senate.
Fairy Lady he was a senator from ohio.
Tom Trinchera
That sucks he can orbit the earth but not run for president
I would’ve funded his campaign
Funny you should say he wasn't "dirty enough", since he was a member of the infamous Keating Five.
He was an excellent Marine, a good husband, a superb pilot, and a brave astronaut. But as a senator his record wasn't stellar, no pun intended. People here in Ohio kept returning him to the Senate mostly because he was this larger than life figure. The Keating Five episode tarnished his reputation somewhat, though he continued to be a loyal Democrat in the Senate until he left office after the 1998 elections.
Excellent movie. John P. Ryan and Donald Moffat were exceptional character actors. Scott Glenn is so good in this movie.
Anyone else here after the passing of Annie Glenn? RIP
"ISN'T THERE ANYBODY WHO CAN DEAL WITH A HOUSEWIFE?!"
Helios Eusebio “Curses! Cows! Gladiolas!”
Nope. Not in those days. Trust me on that.
Uno de los mejores pilotos del siglo XX ...RIP y larga vida a John Glenn y la mítica tripulación del proyecto Mercury...Fantástica pelicula.
Glenn wouldn't be allowed to fly again, until his ride in the Shuttle. Ironically, had he been allowed to stay in rotation, he might have been aboard the ill fated Apollo 1 which caught fire on the pad, killing all aboard.
John P. Ryan's flared nostrils deserve an Oscar of their own.
@hect190-909.......John P. Ryan was a very fine actor, despite often being cast in the 'guy you love to hate most' role. Ryan actually appeared in many truly excellent films [Five Easy Pieces, Dillinger, White Sands, Hoffa, Cotton Club etc].
I especially loved his role as Lieutenant Parmental in Jim McBride's remake of 'A bout de souffle' [''Breathless''] which was made in the same year as 'Right Stuff' [1983] - when he confronts cop-killer Jesse Lujack's [Richard Gere] girlfriend 'Monica' [Valerie Kaprisky].
And yes, Ryan's nostrils gave a brilliant performance too!
This one of the great movies. I remember when it was first on HBO, at the mid way point there was an intermission. 10-15 minute break in the movie to go to the bathroom or get a snack, etc.
There was in the theater too.
I love this scene. They are family looking after family.
One of my favorite scenes of one of my top favorite movies of all time
What an amazing scene!
I don't blame John
Just beautiful!
Great movie.
one of my favorite scenes in the movie!!
A movie about badass astronaut pilots I’ll have to watch this
Did you watch it? It's awesome
Brilliant movie!!
I’m very happy that they made the female characters 3 Dimensional and important to how these men became astronauts
Helps that Tom Wolfe wrote such a great book.
These are MEN right here!
One of my favorite scenes in this great film
Love the actor who played Vice President Johnson.
Donald Moffat. He was really good in this one.
His pecker is in no one's pocket.
Donald Moffat also played the President in Clear and Present Danger. Slimy!!!
Also the Antarctic camp commander in John Carpenter's "The Thing"
I remember him as the android who drove the electric car in the Logan's Run tv show.
I love LBJ's little tantrum and pout
Worst President in American history.
"Isn't there _anybody_ who can deal with a housewife?!"
We haven't found one yet.
Nor will you. Because when Mama's not happy, NOBODY's happy... and there are those married men... and women, these days... who have figured that out, and there are the poor sods who _will_ figure it out. Sooner or later.
@@stonebear or you can just buy a hoor and be happy.
Not only was John Glenn a great man and astronaut, he was a United States Marine. His family was more important than the press.
This is why you don't show up unannounced.
I like this scene, a lot. He empowers her by supporting her. It is their home. And that is the difference between communism and capitalism. It is their private property.
If it was the soviet union, china, or north korea, the government officials would simply commandeer their property , and feed them lines to recite, against their will.
False.
@@bibimir That's a nothing response. State what is false and then prove it. Your comment, as it stands, does nothing more than make you look moronic.
How false ,please state and prove it.
Well actually, there wouldn't be any protest to begin with from Mrs. Glenn in the Soviet Union. She would know better.
well, I think it's false because it's the difference between socialism and democracy, not capitalism. We live in a country (well, I'm not American but I live in a US-friendly country) that is not run by an authoritarian government, one that values the rights of it's population and individuals. Other than that, I agree with Kelly KitKat's comment
I love that line: "Step aside pal"
And that is why John Glenn got promoted to Gene Kranz in Apollo 13...
That was way too great and way too funny!
YES SIR!!
"Panzies!!! Cows!! Gladiolus'!!!" 2nd best line of the movie...after Pancho Barnes' "Now wha'd you 2 pudknockers hav' huh?"
I love this scene so much... I wish we had more John Glenn's in this country.
Awesome
What a career Ed Harris has, astronot in Mercury mission, after that mission director in Apollo 13... boy oh boy...
Favorite scene in the film.
And then Glenn wound up getting Kraft's job.
No not really. But Ed Harris, who played John Glenn here, wound up playing Kraft's successor, Gene Kranz.
This is how it's done.
One of the greatest movies ever.
I'd realized that in those days, it wasn't THAT big of a deal to meet the vice-president. At least in Johnson's estimation. To which, I'd wonder if Annie could be persuaded to come out for Kennedy. Knowing her condition, she'd freak out, like, "Kennedy?! That's even worse!"
RIP Annie
Glenn back his wife Annie and the boys ( the other six ) back Glenn, that's team work!
praise the LORD GOD for men like this
I've never seen this movie, but now I really want to. That scene stirred my heart! :3
Great movie!
Watch it now, James, it's well worth every minute!
2:00 SHOVE!
They turned a decent book into a series of gags.
That might be my favorite part of one of my favorite movies'.
Ed Harris gave John Glenn a lot to live up to !
😄😄😄😄 Great clip.. specially the end of it..
Great movie ...
Way to go
Ed Harris has been an old man for sixty years
Kinda 😂😂 but he's cool.
The liason dude had the perfect smarmy toothy smile. It screamed of insincerity. Some of the lesser roles had the best casting in this magnificent film.
Johnson in the ×-1 as known to s,service limousine is going ballistic at the end of this episode!
Do not mess with the military!, Doesn't matter what branch, you mess with one, you mess with them all.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
“Hey, Glenn, we never told you but we’re gonna use your wife as a political tool on TV to benefit the Vice President and the program, you’re cool with that, right?”
What part of that lead them to believe that THAT would actually work?!
"Step aside paw" 😆😎
this did happen, but the other mercury guys were not gathered around the phone
they did hear that glenn was threatened with losing his spot, and they almost mutinied
mrs glenn had a very bad stutter and was afraid of facing the cameras
later on, she would become more comfortable
Worked with him on. PARAMEDICS
You don't mess with a Marine's wife if you know what is good for you.
That's a real man.
Amen.
Trying to figure out what about The Right Stuff influenced Jordan Peele's Us. I wonder if it is the speech issue John' wife has.
Still can’t believe this movie lost the Oscar for best picture to “Terms of endearment.” What a travesty. Both Siskel and Ebert rated it as the number one film of 1983 on their top 10 list of movies that year.
Never mess with a man's family. Even people who don't like you will back you up
GLADIOLAS!!!!!!
Think all original Mercury astronauts were combat vets. Pretty hard to shake somebody up when they've felt the rattle of muskets!
Did she have a speech impediment or something, or was she just very nervous to have the VP in the house? I'll have to watch this movie now, all these clips make it look so interesting.
That's how a man behaves. He stands up for his wife.
Men stick together.
