"Weisberg was right!" Gerrit Graham as Lloyd Clay, JFK assassination conspiracy researcher. GREETINGS (1968).

Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸
The Sing Sing executions are recreated in Sidney Lumet's DANIEL (1983).

A friend of mine said he was camping with his Boy Scout troop in Akron, Ohio at the time of the execution. When one of the kids heard the news on a portable radio, they told their troop leader. His one word response, "good." Ah, the Fifties!
Another MAD MEN reference...
Oh, yes.
Referenced on at lease two episodes of MAD MEN.
