"The Right Stuff" was supposed to be the movie that put him in the White House.

I do believe he DID visit the White House sometime after that flick..

I know that the Right Stuff was aimed at Glenn, but was there a dedicated film just made about Glenns life.

This link contains a little more information regarding the PBS documentary called John Glenn: American Hero that is on the special features disc that comes with the anniversary addition of "The right Stuff"

I don't think there was ever a "hollywood" feature about Glenn's life, but I could be wrong!
