El candidato (1972)
Bill McKay es un idealista abogado de California que destaca por defender los derechos civiles o las causas ecológicas. Pero también por ser hijo de John J. McKay, antiguo gobernador demócrata del Estado. Ante las elecciones de 1972, el partido le elige para presentarse como candidato a arrebatar el puesto en el senado que ocupa el republicano Crocker Jamon. Bill sabe que tiene pocas posibilidades de ganar y accede con una única condición: poder decir lo que piensa en todo momento. Pero las cosas cambian cuando su honestidad seduce inesperadamente al electorado.
Directora: Michael Ritchie
