rotten:
There are many other dull and naughty characters in this brisk whirl on the Washington merry-go-round.

fresh:
Grips like a vice thanks to the skill with which Preminger's stunning mise en scene absorbs documentary detail.

fresh:
The settings are powerfully like real. A Senate hearing room, the Senate itself, a party home in immediate Washington and varying apartments plus a place in DC suburbia all have the look of genuineness.
