series Four More Years: An Election Special
Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner | 1964
With Henry Fonda, Cliff Robertson, Edie Adams
Gore Vidal adapted his own poison-pen play for this caustic look at the shady political maneuvering that ensues as two presidential candidates (Fonda & Robertson) vie bitterly for their party’s nomination. The combination of Vidal’s sardonic dialogue, Haskell Wexler’s crisp cinematography, and a top-drawer cast (including an Oscar-nominated Lee Tracy in his last role) yields a razor-sharp satire that’s still relevant.
