"It did Adlai Stevenson great harm not having a wife and trying to be funny all at the same time".So declares a delegate at a party convention and it seems equally apt of its author Gore Vidal whose political hopes were shattered by a mixture of his sexuality and a patrician ironicism (twin and insuperable barriers to political advancement in Amaerica then -and maybe still)
The Best Man sees Vidal adapting his own witty play about personal and political morality ,the plot of which unfolds in ... Read More

Great movie. Great Gore Vidal script. Great acting by Henry Fonda. Great acting by Cliff Robertson. Great pair of ... lungs ... on Edie Adams. Great, great, great-great-great! Ok, now for what I *didn't* like about the movie. ...

In 1964 I might have given this five stars. I was a liberal then before I grew up. Viewing the film this afternoon on the Turner Movie Classics I was struck at how slanted the film was for the year it came out. Much more so than the book it was based on.

Proper in areas like Civil Rights, but very much full or stereotypes ... Read More

The sitting President (played with good-ole-boy bravado by Lee Tracy) is stepping down, and Russell is the front-runner to get the party's nomination at the convention. His primary opposition is the ... Read More

Crackerjack political melodrama pitting the intellectual, idealistic Henry Fonda against the ruthless Cliff Robertson at the national convention for the Presidency. Both men have dirty secrets up their sleeves about the other man, but only Robertson is willing to use them. When the convention becomes deadlocked, Fonda resigns from the race and throws his delegates to a third party. Both Fonda and Robertson are excellent, as is Lee Tracy as the politically/worldly-wise ex-President. What really makes the ... Read More
