Henry Fonda good, Cliff Robertson bad. Sharp dialogue, wonderful photography, predictable storyline. Except for the gay stuff. That was a surprise. Top notch quasi-intellectual soap opera (much like “The West Wing,” of which this is basically a prototype) and a fascinating time capsule. Thumbs very much up. Also: I didn’t know Shelly Berman could act.
