Great performances from a large cast. From actors like Inger Svenson, George Grizzard right up to the stars like Laughton who was terminally ill. I remember watching it as a child in the 60's, and I saw something that I thought I must have imagined. Edward Andrews is Senator Knox and is giving a speech. Walter Pigeon as Senator Munson asks a question and tries to trap the Senator in a "Time Limit". Senator Knox does not fall for it. Edward Andrews then adjusts his glasses and quickly scratches his nose with his MIDDLE Finger. When this came out in VHS, I was able to confirm what I saw as a child in the 60's. There were many sensitive topics covered in this film. But this was the first time I ever saw one actor playing a U.S. Senator and giving the finger to another one. Most people never catch it and deny that it happened.
