Told that he has little chance of winning, McKay initially speaks freely about his beliefs. But as his campaign gains momentum, political consultants, media appearances and the pressure to win begin to reshape both his message and his principles. Directed by Michael Ritchie, this incisive film examines the compromises of electoral politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMovie Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1972\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Michael Ritchie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScreenwriter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jeremy Larner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Political Drama \/ Satire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e PG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 110 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warner Home Video, full-screen DVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e DVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCast and Characters\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobert Redford — Bill McKay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter Boyle — Marvin Lucas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelvyn Douglas — John J.
