Movie Haiku:Extraordinarily prescient drama about television's pernicious influence on American politics. A reporter (Neal) meets a seemingly simple fellow (Griffith) & quickly discovers that "the camera loves his face." In record time, he's won the hearts of millions & politcal opportunists come calling. Another home run for director Kazan.
