You probably don't know Jeremy Larner, who died a few weeks ago. But he wrote one of the best — if not the best — political screenplays of all time. And even though he wrote it back in 1972, it's barely dated. (Young women in miniskirts and straw boaters no longer dance in kick lines at campaign rallies, thank goodness.) That must mean the foibles and outrages of American politics are still true. In fact, they're worse. We cats PURR at Larner for a job well done, and HISS at the rest.
