Henry Fonda
stars as Robert Leffingwell, the president's hand-picked candidate for secretary of state, in Otto Preminger's
examination of party politics & Washington wheelings & dealings. But Leffingwell is hardly a shoe-in. A Senate committee has been assigned to investigate the nominee's past, dredging up dirt & brewing a storm of scandal. Charles Laughton
provides a memorable turn as the Dixiecrat determined to sink the appointment.
Rated NR 2 hours 18 minutes 1962
2 stars. good acting, boring story.
