I am pleased to announce the next Movie Matinee at Beit Knesset Hanassi. On Tuesday, September 17 we will present THE BEST MAN.
This film is a dramatic, remarkably insightful look at American presidential politics. Henry Fonda and Cliff Robertson play the two leading candidates for their party’s nomination. They are neck and neck, with neither candidate having a majority. Robertson plays the ruthless, amoral, demagogic “man of the people”. Fonda is the principled intellectual.
All the noble and unsavory aspects of American presidential politics are on display in this brilliantly scripted and acted film. Campaign managers dredge up skeletons in the closet, rumors, lies, character assassinations and more. Each candidate has something on the other that would destroy their candidacy—if they use it!
Who’s going to win the nomination and thus become the next president? Find out in this superb and timely movie.
The Movie Matinee is at 2:00. The film is 1¾ hours in length. In addition, there will be a brief introduction of the film, a short talk and discussion after the screening.
There will be refreshments. No reservations are required. Beit Knesset Hanassi is located at 24 Ussishkin Street. The admission is 20 shekels for members of the shul and 30 shekels for non-members.
