...backed a program of much-needed social reforms: new hospitals and schools, more housing, and a crackdown on the wealthy industrialists who habitually evade their income tax. Perhaps most important, the PCI offered an effective alternative to the politics of corruption and scandal that have become the trademark...
...school, a big bluff, outgoing operator who belonged to every fraternal organization from the Elks to the Eagles, knew every local Democratic chieftain from his native New York to California, and could win a new ally or stroke an old one with a warm note signed "Jim" in his trademark Irish green ink.

In 1932 Farley steered Roosevelt's drive for the Democratic presidential nomination and his election victory...

The camera focuses so obsessively on Ullmann, that, beautiful as she is, we begin to long for a pull-back, an aerial view, anything. No doubt the director intends us to feel irritated; our claustrophobia parallels Jenny's vexation at being walled up with herself, with the memories...
