Costner's attempt at a New England accent was so pathetic as to be laughable-my wife and I both mentioned it at the same time while we were watching the film. It's a toss-up as to whether or not this one was worse than his equally bad English accent in Robin Hood:Prince of Thieves.The Gen. LeMay role was a complete caricature, as you noted-just a few ticks shy of Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott in Dr. Strangelove).
The whole thing struck me as a bit of a love letter to JFK, although Greenwood certainly did a fine job.
