The Best Man (1964) – DVD | Henry Fonda | Cliff Robertson | Political Drama Classic
Two men want the presidency. Only one deserves it. And neither may get it. Based on Gore Vidal’s acclaimed Broadway play and directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, The Best Man is a razor-sharp and brilliantly acted 1964 political drama set at a presidential nominating convention. Two candidates — one principled but flawed, one ruthless and ambitious — battle for the support of the outgoing president and the soul of their party in a film that feels as relevant today as it did sixty years ago.
Starring Henry Fonda and Cliff Robertson in career-defining performances, with a superb supporting cast including Lee Tracy, Edie Adams, and Margaret Leighton, The Best Man is one of the finest political films Hollywood has ever produced. A must-own collectible DVD for fans of Henry Fonda, Gore Vidal, and classic American political cinema.
