It is very rare that a favorite book of mine passes muster as a movie. It is even rarer that the movie is better than the book!
My favorite Allen Drury book Advise & Consent (1962) was made into a movie that is now available on DVD. When I was in high school, I was part of Mock Congress debates. We followed Senate rules (parliamentary procedure) during those sessions. I wish I had read this book or watched the DVD before I was in some of those debates!
I don’t care if you are Liberal, Conservative, Democrat, or Republican. You can empathize with all points of view by the end of this movie.
I can’t think of a more perfect movie to watch in this political season.
