...incoming Administration knows more about the intricacies of the Federal Government than Charles Louis Schultze, 52. Jimmy Carter, who has come to regard him as a sort of utility infielder, considered him for several Cabinet-level posts, including Treasury and Defense, before deciding to make him chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. Colleagues who have watched Schultze and the President-elect work together are struck by their rapport.

Marvin overacts outrageously, sometimes lapsing into a full-fledged imitation of W.C. Fields gone native. Parkins is pretty, and Moore deft and quite amusing as a sort of good-hearted dolt. Director Peter Hunt (Gold) got his start as film editor on the early James Bond adventures and knows how to work on the funny bone even as he stages a punchy scene.
