Entertainment Reviews:

Entertainment Weekly - 07/29/1994

"...A hornet's nest....One of the savviest of all films about politics..." -- Rating: A

USA Today - 08/12/1994

"...[With] many good performances..."

Premiere - 06/01/2005

"[A]bsolutely the best film ever made about American politics..."

Product Description:

Preminger's political thriller examines the dark side of politics and its tragic personal repercussions for an essentially decent man. When a President nominates a controversial candidate for Secretary of State, the political dealing and infighting begins as dissident legislators are willing to stoop even to blackmail to stop his confirmation -- or assure it. Preminger seemed to hit his stride lending a documentary tension to legal or political settings, and this is one of his best. Laughton's last role.

Production Notes:

  • This 1962 film, like many of Otto Preminger's other films, tread on controversial territory, namely homosexuality and McCarthyism. The film contains a scene set in a gay bar, an almost unheard of image in a big-budget film in 1962. Because the theatrical production of the story (itself based on a best-selling novel) was still playing when the film was made, the movie's opening was held off in a rights dispute. There is a computer-colorized version of the video available. The title sequence, with its animated Capitol Building with a dome that "lifts", and a montage of waving American flags, was designed by Saul Bass. Shot in Panavision. Charles Laughton's final screen appearance.
