The Best Man (1964)
7/10
Good politics and principles film
8 February 2017
Henry Fonda is the honest aspiring presidential candidate. Clifford Robinson is the social climber. But with the way the characters are written, we're given just about enough realistic nuance to make this more interesting than it would seem classically drawn on paper.

It's a good film in that you may not be a natural fan of this sort of film, and yet, it isn't a boring old political film. Yes it's dialog-based, politically/morally centered, but it's well constructed, and the characters are really well written enough that the film as it progresses keeps captivating its audience.

The whole effort culminates into the final scene. An interesting outcome. Good stuff.

7.5/10.
