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. 105 min.
