The Candidate: Review

Handlers, spin doctors and the good man they lead astray. Jeremy Larner's Academy Award-winning screenplay is a voyage into the sea of politics; Robert Redford is the idealistic young candidate caught in the undertow.

(Calm down, he was kidding!) Redford offers no details on his and Newman's potential project, but does confirm that a sequel to to 1972's The Candidate, in which his character now is president of the United States, is in the planning stages. read more
