cinema verite documentary

Filmmaker Robert Drew follows Senators Hubert H. Humphrey and John F. Kennedy as they campaign for the Wisconsin Democratic primary in the wintry start of 1960. There is limited narration. It is a cinema verite documentary. It's a lot of glad handing and chicken dinner speeches. It's the grinding daily political theater. As archival footage, this is fascinating for politics history junkies. The sound can vary in quality. There are glimpses of Jacqueline Kennedy and the rest of the Kennedy clan. There is definitely a difference in the two campaigns. While Humphrey talks to reserved farmers, Kennedy is fighting through throngs of excited people. In the end, JFK comes out ahead 2 to 1 on primary night. The last image is a straggling dusty old car with a Humphrey sticker rolling down the road.

Anecdotes
In the beginning when John F. Kennedy is smoking a cigar and the poll results are told to him, the audio picks up Kennedy uttering "well, fuck." The only reason this was captured on audio is because Robert Drew hid a microphone in Kennedy's ashtray.

Gaffes
When Jacqueline Kennedy is singing along with supporters at a campaign rally, her lips are not in sync.

Self - Narrator: The big handshake. The big rally. The wild race across the landscape - searching out voters. All repeated endlessly for days and weeks and months. These are the ordeal and the exhilaration of the US Presidential candidate. In the entire campaign, nothing is wilder than the battle of an important state primary - fought in every town and precinct. With the prospect that the candidate might be knocked out of the nomination if he loses. That even if he wins, his victory might count for nothing at the convention.
