Short description
Bill McKay is a candidate for the U.S. Senate from California. He has no hope of winning, so he is willing to tweak the establishment.
What's left behind the scenes
- Screenwriter Jeremy Larner wrote speeches for Eugene McCarthy's (1916-2005) presidential campaign in 1968.
- The film was directed by Michael Ritchie (1938-2001), who worked as a technical advisor in several US presidential election campaigns.
- The role of Senator Jarson, ultimately played by Don Porter (1912-1997), was initially offered to James Stewart (1908-1997), but he declined the offer.
