THE CANDIDATE
January 2, 2016  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

In a political season, it should be required viewing to watch this 1972 movie, starring Robert Redford as a politician running for the U.S. Senate, who’s so far behind in the polls, he decides to throw in the towel by speaking the truth. TCM is calling this film one of “The Essentials” – and now that we’re in an election year, it’s precisely that.
