Bill McKay (Robert Redford), California Democratic candidate for U.S. Senator, a man of integrity and ideals, will now let the great American political machine manipulate him. Beca use now he's got to win. The Candidate, directed by Michael Ritchie from an on-target Academy Award - winning Best Original Screenplay (1972) by Jeremy Larner, is all about the packing of today's office-seeker. Still timely after 40 year, it's a sharp insider's view of how admen, press agents, pollsters and media czars converge on election campaigns. Peter Boyle, Melvyn Douglas and Don Porter co-star in one of the wittiest political movies ever made.Director(s): Michael RitchieCast: Peter Boyle, Karen Carlson, Allen Garfield, Don Porter, Quinn Redeker, Kenneth Tobey, Morgan UptonRun Time: 1h 50minCinema Date: 1972Distributor: Warner Bros.
