the comment on this board be all interesting and quite valid in their praise of warren beatty gutsy take on american politics . however and no one make mention that this be film be also brilliantly craft . beatty have make a film that balance dozen of well etched character in under two hour and make it move lightning fast . the story never lose focus and be wildly romantic and be the first political film that be so gorgeous to look at it paint in lush and primary color that make my jaw drop open with delight . it be fantastic and should have be honor with more academy recognition .
