Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)
1 suggested correction
Directed by: Barry Levinson
Starring: Robin Williams, Forest Whitaker, J.T. Walsh
Factual error: The movie is set in Saigon, 1965. Adrian Cronauer plays "What a Wonderful World" by Louis B. Armstrong on his radio show, but the song wasn't recorded until August 16, 1967.
Adrian Cronauer: Goooooooood morning Vietnam! It's 0600 hours. What does the "O" stand for? O my God, it's early! Speaking of early, let's hear it for that Marty Lee Drywitz. Silky smooth sounds, making me sound like Peggy Lee...
Trivia: This film is based on Pentagon lawyer Adrian Cronauer's life as a DJ during the Vietnam War. He is worked in the Pentagon in its MIA/POW office until his death on July 18, 2018.

Suggested correction: Vinyls contain many songs, even small 45 rpm can contain 4 tracks; so one song might be forbidden or considered unacceptable, but not the rest.
