Preminger's political thriller examines the dark side of politics and its tragic personal repercussions for an essentially decent man. When a President nominates a controversial candidate for Secretary of State, the political dealing and infighting begins as dissident legislators are willing to stoop even to blackmail to stop his confirmation -- or assure it. Preminger seemed to hit his stride lending a documentary tension to legal or political settings, and this is one of his best. Laughton's last role.

ADVISE & CONSENT - Preminger's 11th, as 'Independent'. Senate Hearings De-Mystified?
Pros: Cast, Story, Performances. Enactments of Government morals and customs of a half-century ago Cons: Presumption that the Senate could govern itself. The script suggests that it can. Bottom Line: Advise & Consent: Getting Confirmed for a Government Job
Pros: Walter Pidgeon, Charles Laughton Cons: Slow moving and a bit boring Bottom Line: A movie with little control
Pros: Sociologically interesting topic, decent acting Cons: Plot cannot sustain more than 2 hours, very weak plot Bottom Line: |
