    Excellent film about a a great debate that still goes on. Celebrity, politics, ego, and anger... Really surprised by how entertaining and well paced this film is too.

    This Doc was one of the most fascinating documentaries I have seen. I had no idea who these two intellectuals were before watching this. It amazes me that we are still talking about the same issues today which both of these men help shape the foundation for the Republican and Democratic views.I wonder what both of these men would have thought about the chaos that is going on in the world today.
  • The Triumph of Commentary Over Substance

    Two patricians met to fill the time the network would not devote to coverage of the 1968 Republican and Democratic National Conventions. Both men were widely known and sons of wealth and power. One was to oversee the incredible shift in his party's position of power and the other would accurately predict the outcome of the same. This documentary covers the turning point in U.S. political policy and journalism. Those of us who saw this at the time were given to switching channels between the Chicago convention (and police riot) and the men who attempted to define the moment. The substance of these discussions has changed little in the ensuing years. The nation has changed greatly in the 47 years since this series of discussions and we were not without notice of the intention to effect those changes. Whichever political policy you support (or, oppose) this is a must-watch program for all. The core of substantive journalism is destroyed by the entertainment value of the "debate" between two men who had far more in common with each other than either did with the electorate.

    If you like witty repartee among intellectuals, it’s hard to see how you could have more fun than watching this movie. Highly entertaining.
