The Candidate

• OSCAR WINNER:
• Best Original Screenplay

More powerful today than at the time of its 1972 release, The Candidate is a timeless tale of contemporary politics; expertly written by Oscar winner Jeremy Larner.

Robert Redford plays Bill McKay, an idealistic California attorney running for office in this marvelous, biting, satire on media-age political campaigns.

The stellar cast includes Peter Boyle and Melvyn Douglas, who also give memorable performances.
