Line 40:
* In [[Woody Allen]]'s story ''Remembering Needleman'', an eulogy for the fictional academic Sandor Needleman, it's mentioned that he was dismissed from Columbia University for his disagreement with Eisenhower (who was the president of the university between 1948-53) "over whether the class bell signaled the end of a period or the beginning of another", which led to Needleman attacking Eisenhower with a carpet beater who ran for cover into a toy store.
* In ''[[A World of Laughter, A World of Tears]]'', Ike suffers a heart attack before the election and the Republicans scramble for another high-profile candidate to draft, eventually settling on [[Walt Disney]]. This does not end well.
* Ike appears at the beginning of ''[[Superman: Red Son]]'', first announcing the existence of Soviet Superman to the United States, and later privately lamenting the forthcoming [[Cold War]] escalation to his aides.
* Eisenhower appears in ''[[The Longest Day]]'', making the fateful decision to send the invasion fleet to Normandy through questionable weather on June 6th. [[It Was His Sled|It works.]]
* ''Ike: Countdown to D-Day'' focuses on the planning of Operation Overlord.
