A tale of dirty politicking and conscience in American politics that holds up even today. Henry Fonda is absolutely terrific in this, and Cliff Robertson's performance is strong... it's hard sometimes to imagine the same guy playing the corrupt politician in this Gore Vidal fable would also play Uncle Ben Parker in the Spider-Man films late in his career. Lee Tracy is also compelling as the ex-President who can't help stirring up trouble between the two Presidential candidates, and probably has some of the best lines in the film.
