The Candidate**        

(US 1972)          

An idealistic Governor's son is persuaded to run for the Senate against the Republican favourite, but his own ideas get lost in the campaign machinery as his chances start to improve ...
Telling semi-documentary political satire, as relevant today as it was then, with a central character clearly modelled on John F. Kennedy. More style than substance, but that's the point.
