Audience Member Empty life of a politician laid bare Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Peter Finch is excellent as a career politician, but the script is rather dry and stale. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I first saw this when I was a kid and just re-watched it. Sure it's dated but Peter Finch delivers an excellent performance as ambitious Labour MP Johnnie Byrne who drifts through disillusion, rebellion and new love to finally achieve his ambition. Well worth 90 minutes or so of your time. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Perhaps fairly topical on a day when the ALP's skullduggery dominates the headlines - the cynical view of life and especially politics done in b & w by the brits is almost its own genre and there are few better than this - almost predicts Peter Finch's later classic performance in Network Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
