...eyes of one of the characters. Too many points of view, too many exacting detail counts substitute trivia for what could be absorbing and coherent action. Perhaps these failings are the result of an attempt to film precise history (even though it may not even be good history). Scenes succeed each other for no apparent reason except to suggest a superficial contrast. For instance, one of Smith's fantasies (which are filmed without a special lens) features an empty room similar to a shot of the court room. No connection can be made out of that.

...such timely subjects as the coming elections. His political convictions, though, are no secret. "I want to help get Johnson elected," he says. "I have known Johnsons all my life. The greatness of the country is that it can produce so many. If he fails, I fail. If he succeeds, I succeed...
