      Entertaining hour!
      The main reason I decided to see this movie was because George Reeves was in this movie. I had of course seen him in re-runs of Superman as a young child. I briefly saw him in Gone With the Wind. I think this movie has a clever dialog. I liked the fact that the relationship of the older couple was not the usual that is seen in many movies of this time where the woman is submissive and polite to the husband. They are a typical couple arguing. I liked the way the election campaign turned out and the last line of the movie is the best political sarcasm I have heard in a long time. It was much more than I expected, of course looking at George Reeves is a treat in itself and I could not pass up one of my childhood heroes.
