Approaching another presidential election, we look back 60 years to an earlier view of the state of presidential politics. Spencer Tracy is a presidential nominee who is too outspoken for the party bosses. Katharine Hepburn, as his wife, adds more heartburn for the backroom boys and a young, aggressive Angela Lansbury almost steals the show with her portrayal of a newspaper manager.

This film is presented in conjunction with the Robert C. Byrd Center for Legislative Studies.
