Superstar Robert Redford ("Up Close and Personal," "Indecent Proposal") stars as a young, aggressive lawyer seduced into a political race against a well-respected incumbent Senator. Trying to do his own thing, he finds it difficult to call his own shots in the face of party efforts to mold him into a winner. Academy Award-winner for Best Screenplay and featuring strong performances by Peter Boyle and Melvyn Douglas. "The best political film ever," praises the National Observer, while Rex Reed declares it "like a string of Fourth of July firecrackers, exploding in joy.... It is clever and riveting and honest."

Racist transplant surgeon Maxwell Kirshner (Ray Milland) never lets anything compromise his work -- even his impending death. When he learns he has a terminal illness, Kirshner decides to attach his brilliant noggin to another man's body. But his search turns ups only one suitable donor: black convict Jack Moss (Roosevelt Grier). Before you can say "double trouble," the two heads fight for control of their shared physique in this campy classic.
