GREAT CAST speaking of star studded, quite amazing that this fine ensemble cast was brought together for a TV film.
Solid script, direction is fine as well.
Although described as a comedy, there are just powerful dramatic moments that reflect the energy behind these huge decisions that effect our lives.
The US process of nominating a presidential candidate during a convention is interesting all by itself. The numbers of delegates, the speeches, the balloons, the signs, the noise, the jubilation for the winners. And what happened behind the scenes - always interesting.
There are several very good films both dramatic and comedic that address these issues.
I'm surprised that this made for TV movie was so good.
Often honest, sometimes raw, sometimes filled with the disappointments for the staff members, sometimes like chess pieces. Many easily swept away and never remembered or appreciated.
Well worth your time! And it's on YOUTUBE
Faye Dunaway is always a gem - nominated as well.
Laura Linney always solid
Score is good as well.....and of course behind the backdrop of Hollywood and issues such as abortion are part of it.....
