ON THIS DAY: In 1984, Geraldine Ferraro was nominated to run with Walter Mondale on the Democratic Party ticket, thereby becoming the first woman vice-presidential nominee in the United States from a major party. Joan Allen faces an uphill battle in last year's THE CONTENDER, when she is named by the sitting president (played by Jeff Bridges) to replace his veep, who died in office. [today's movie at IMDb]
