"Perhaps he loved the people, but he didn't trust them to think for themselves." - Christine Forrest, regarding her late husband

Why watch this? This is so much more than a routine political thriller.

Plot Summary: A journalist arrives to write a biography of a beloved national hero who died in a car crash. While researching the book, he meets the hero's enigmatic widow and other members of the household. He soon uncovers conflicting information that makes him question if the hero's death was truly an accident.

Dad's Preview: As I watched this second collaboration of Hepburn and Tracy, I could not believe it. It is eerie how clearly the plot mirrors the political climate of 2025 America. Back then, as now, I put forth that many viewers thought it unthinkable. How ever could something so vile take legitimate form in America? The land of the free. The home of the brave. Yet in this film, it does. Unlike other, lighter projects, this Hepburn-Tracy work is somber and full of well-kept secrets. Still, the pair are incredible to watch together on screen. The plot, and it's mind-blowing climax, will shock you, but it's very important that you stick it out and take in its message. In fact, I hope it helps you more clearly see the dire situation our country finds itself in today.
