Rating: 4/5 --
Mostrando como os bastidores da política podem ser sujos, o filme conta com ótimas atuações de Fonda, Robertson e Tracy (indicado ao Oscar) e, escrito por Gore Vidal, traz diálogos afiados e inteligentes.

It's hard to be educational while being poignant, but this film does both easily.

Cinema Sight
"There is nothing like a good, dirty, low-down political fight to bring the roses to your cheeks." says the film's ex-President. As an excellent facsimile of the real thing... The Best Man wins.

LIFE
It is "good theatre," no more but also no less. The director, Franklin Schaffner, has given it a lot of razzmatazz, which was probably the way to do it.
