HealtH
1980. USA. Directed by Robert Altman. Screenplay by Altman, Paul Dooley, Frank Barhydt. With Carol Burnett, Glenda Jackson, Lauren Bacall, James Garner, Alfre Woodard. Described as a “mess, but a glorious one” by The New York Times and “the world’s worst movie” by President Reagan, Altman’s most illusive feature is a free-form satire of the American political convention process. The director referenced 1950s presidential candidates Adlai Stevenson (Jackson) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (Bacall) in conceiving his lead characters. Courtesy Twentieth Century Fox. 105 min.
