After the Clinton-impeachment affair (or the Clinton-affair impeachment?), this drama argued that politics could be noble. Fast too--with the rapid dialogue and the hallway walk-and-talks, the staff of President Bartlet (Martin Sheen, below with John Goodman) had espresso in their veins.

His fugue format, pouring dozens of plots into a post-ethnic melting pot, gave everyone a brief grab at movie immortality. On the great plains of Altman's precious wide screen, America bustled, hustled and tussled. His searching telephoto lens, focusing on this micro-event or that...
