L'amaro sapore del potere (1964)
Corsa alla presidenza degli Stati Uniti. Un candidato liberal e fautore di una politica con le mani nette, ha un avversario conservatore con tanto pelo sullo stomaco. Il liberal rifiuta di fare la campagna a base di calunnie e trabocchetti; cosicché alle primarie si trova in svantaggio. Vincerà un terzo candidato, più onesto del conservatore, ma anche più deciso dell'altro.
