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. The result is a prophetic glimpse of politics in the age of TV, and, ironically, it was the film that inspired Dan Quayle's career choice. Read the complete review for The Candidate

  • REDFORD EYES REMATCH | Today's News: Our Take | 8/26/2005
    How does "The Revenge of the Sting" sound? "Butch Cassidy's Great-Nephew and the Sundance Kid's Grandkids"? Whatever. Fact is, Robert Redford and Paul Newman are on the road to reuniting on the big screen. Categorizing previous pitches to bring them together as "corny and kind of low grade," Redford now reveals "there's something rolling around that we're talking about, and the real question is whether [Paul] can remember his lines or not." (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
