Summary of The Candidate
An outspoken, idealistic young California lawyer is persuaded to run for the Senate, and finds himself up against a political machine.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: PG
Release Date: 15-SEP-1998
Media Type: DVD
Michael Ritchie's 1972 drama about a political idealist(Robert Redford) recruited to make a run for the Senate is still engrossing and still a terribly accurate reflection of the contemporary campaign process. In one of his trademark roles as a man haunted by some shadow of inauthenticity (see Downhill Racer, The Natural, The Great Gatsby, Sneakers, and such), Redford is superb as a first-time candidate watching his values and control over his message disappear in the age of TV-friendly prefabrication. Peter Boyle is ideal as his clearheaded campaign manager, Allen Garfield is effectively creepy as a media strategist, and Melvyn Douglas makes a memorable appearance as a retired politico whose endorsement is gold. Highly recommended. --Tom Keogh
