| A fictional reenactment of an event too crazy to have really happened. In 1915 Henry Ford decided he could stop the war, hooked up with a zealous Hungarian suffragette, hired a cruise ship, packed it full of wide-eyed students and cynical journalists, and sailed off to Europe to stop the war on Christmas day. Oh, the things that wealth can and cannot buy. | |||
