REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 14-May-2006)

The truly remarkable thing about this movie is that it was originally a play on television. They don't even try to do such things on television, not anymore. You can tell that Paddy Chayevsky wrote it, even if you didn't know in advance, but you wouldn't guess that Gore Vidal adapted it for the screen. So, things to think about while enjoying what looks like was taken straight from life.
