All Time Greats: Advise and Consent

BBC One
on BBC One London

Tonight's film from the cinema's hall of fame stars Charles Laughton, Henry Fonda
with Franchot Tone, Don Murray, Lew Ayres, Walter Pidgeon, Gene Tierney

When an obstinate, and ailing, President chooses for the post of Secretary of State a controversial radical with a questionable past, right and left wing forces immediately swing into action - the one to oppose the appointment, the other to force it through the Senate by fair means or foul.
