The Front (1976), Martin Ritt, B+
It’s amazing — Woody Allen can actually act! Yes, he’s his persona has just been grafted onto a somewhat serious story. . .but tell me the hearing room scene at the end isn’t actually tense? Another great scene is Zero Mostel losing his cool at the Catskills Hotel. Wasn’t planning on watching this, but it was on TV and I couldn’t turn away.
