...dialogue implausible. As a director, Fuller can stand with the best. He is, as critic Andrew Sarris called him, "an authentic American primitive." He rarely uses tricky angles, generally putting his camera directly in front of whatever's happening, and extremely close to it. His cutting is relentless, so brutal it can hurt. For all their commercial motivation, his films have a clear and consistent personal style...
...Chief Executive have stood in a special relationship, which, at its best, has been a form of creative tension. At times the tension was relaxed to the point of subservience by the White House to the Hill and, occasionally, vice versa; at other times it was heightened into open, relentless hostility.

Mrs. Friedan immediately interrupted, "Doesn't his wife collaborate on some of his stuff? She does? What her name?" Pulling out a note book, she asked...
They split the first four games and things were getting hot as the final game began. The temperamental Niederhoffer, who will not tolerate the slightest interference with his stroke, has always been a gallery villain because of his frequent let calls. The indignant Howe, just as relentless on lets, tends to give less than sufficient room for his opponent to manipulate as a match tightens...
