...ideologue. If another category, the intellectual as activist, fits his model, Bell makes no attempt to make it readily apparent. Bell's "intellectuals" are the professors and the men of letters, the men who can conveniently transcend the fray. There is no room for a Michael Harrington, a Herbert Marcuse, or a C. Wright Mills in Bell's scheme. Indeed, much of The Winding Passage attempts to discredit these idealists--and succeeds. In method, Bell is a tantalizing combination of Muhammad Ali and Roberto Duran; he taunts, he baits, but he never refrains from slugging it out. He punishes...
Genentech was founded in 1976 by Herbert Boyer, a biochemistry professor at the University of California at San Francisco and a pioneer in recombinant DNA, and Robert Swanson, a financier who finds backers for new companies.

...film lacks both snappy comic writing and truly suspenseful action. Beatty aside, the minor characters are not developed with much flair. Sam Waterston, as a onetime Matthau protege in the agency now forced to lead the pursuit of his mentor, is bland in a blandly written role. Herbert Lorn, as Matthau's friendly rival from the U.S.S.R., is too friendly for the good of the picture. The film lacks a needed air of menace...
