Ameche walks through the film with sad, bloodhound eyes and a bad hair piece meant to make him look 20 years younger--that is, 60, instead of 80. But he can do no wrong here--and neither can Mantegna or Prosky, who by now can surely play whatever roles Mamet writes for them in their sleep--and here they seem...
Cardenas, 54, whose sagging jowls and doleful eyes give him the appearance of a bloodhound, is far from a leftist rabble-rouser. His speeches are often as dour as his looks. But his message -- declaring the need for a change of both government and policies -- is popular at a time when Mexico's economic problems slice deep into the purchasing power of its poor. By some estimates, real wages have fallen to the levels of the early 1970s. Particularly well received is his call for renegotiation of Mexico's $103 billion foreign debt...
Incumbents' voting records are a popular target for sarcasm. "The character question cuts more deeply than specific issues in a lot of campaigns this year," says Washington Media Consultant Robert Squier. The trend got a big boost from Republican Mitch McConnell's wildly successful "bloodhound" spots for the Kentucky Senate race in 1984.

...White House ceremony marking National Crime Prevention Week, "McGruff" the bloodhound dropped in on President Ronald Reagan, 73, to shake paws. The 6-ft. trench-coated pooch (played by Sgt. Winston Cavendish of the St. Tammany Parish, La., sheriffs department) was attending in his capacity as "spokesdog" for the National Exchange Club, a 1,300-member crime-prevention organization. Citing a 4.3% drop in the 1982 crime rate, Reagan said the statistics demonstrated "a reaffirmation of American values, a sense of community, fellowship, individual responsibility, caring for our family and friends and a respect for the law." After his speech...
Political pundits and fellow Democrats hardly concurred. "I might as well run my bloodhound, Blue," declared Atlanta Pollster Claibourne Darden. "The possibility of his being elected President is zero." Only slightly more enthusiastic was Colorado Senator Gary Hart, McGovern's 1972 campaign manager and one of his six declared presidential opponents. "He has as much right as anyone else to get into the race," said Hart...
