Forgettable movie, elevated only by the presence of Hepburn and Tracy.
“…Well, there are so many ways, it'd take me the rest of the day to explain it to you. But general idea is that they try to get us all confused and scared and, uh, sore at each other and then before you know it, clamp the handcuffs on us.” “hmmm. Would they put handcuffs on me?” “Not on your hands they wouldn't. Because you would have to work for them. The chains would be on your mind and on your tongue.” I can’t imagine a more topical film for where America is right now. A story of a man who is revered as a hero and legend only to be revealed to be the greatest proponent of fascism in the history of America. Except in real life, we don’t even get people we can perceive as heroes. Just thieves of valor and slobbering morons that tell the ignorant what they want to hear.
