The Candidate - Original Theatrical Trailer

OSCAR WINNER:Best Original ScreenplayMore powerful today than at the time of its 1972 release, The Candidate is a timeless tale of contemporary politics; expertly written by Oscar winner Jeremy Larner. Robert Redford plays Bill McKay, an idealistic California attorney running for office in this marvelous, biting, satire on media-age political campaigns. The stellar cast includes Peter Boyle and Melvyn Douglas, who also give memorable performances.

What Do We Do Now !! Classic line.

[@flintironstag2381]

I never forgot that line. It's scary to me.....and accurate today.

[@dfrankrobinson]

You'll be told what to do when and if you need to know.

[@us-Bahn]

And he never once during the campaign has a conversation with anyone about how to do the job he’s been talking about for 2 years? More than a suspension, that’s a levitation of disbelief.

Man these trailers are wild

[@DaveDaShrubber]

I've never seen the episode of Veep where Selina Meyer gets punched in the face while campaigning.

He looked the same from Downhill Racer (1969) at 0:32, 2:13, 2:22

lol is it any good? I learnt fuck all from this trailer

[@nancyryan7971]

Nothings changed.. "get the people off welfare"

[@aljawad]

If Robert Redford didn’t do any thing other than this film and “All the Presidents Men”, he’d still be the best actor of his generation. Great artist and a greater man!

[@angelalalley7593]

And hawt!

[@lonerunner89]

He was good but Hoffman, Pacino and Hackman are all better.

[@Potaville]

The 100% fictional manufactured char-actor puppet role she portrayed as a so called elected by voting US presidential political puppet "JFK" is a tad more notable than this Hellywood induced brain washing blip of non sense film! Her 100% fake, 100% made up manufactured Georgia peanut farmer puppet role of Jimmy Carter is also a tad more notable as well. Hey, before she kicks it, she's "84" years old now right? The numerals 8 and 4 are recently becoming extremely popular as of late with all the coded media trash and all B-lagoon members. Must be yet another fake manufactured char-actor puppets fake B-day or something.

Dear Warner Bros. When are you going to give this movie the proper BR release it deserves??

[@Kilen_BE]

Things change and remain exactly the same 😂 Just find this old trailer by mistake in my research, it’s makes me smile thinking of all social mess since early 2020 in US... things change, but remain exactly the same ! 😏

[@docmalthus]

Things change, but remain exactly the same.....only worse.

[@joequillun7790]

@@docmalthus You're right Doc. The only thing exactly the same, is the corruption in government. And you're double right, is it is "SO" much worse now. And is in the wide open, for all to see. But only if you look in the right places. Social media has blocked out the truths, so the uneducated, un-informed Americans are blind to it. Such a shame.

Eastridge Mall San Jose ca !

[@ismolaaksonen9079]

Great Movie

[@RicBret]

The first scene in the trailer was shot at the Eastridge Mall, and other scenes from areas around the Bay Area.

[@izacnewton5761]

filmed in san jose???

[@us-Bahn]

Who’s the creepy broad with the stringy long hair and bug-eyed goggles that stalks Redford everywhere? Ewww

[@us-Bahn]

@@RicBret Yea I’m not talking about the trailer. I’m talking about the movie. She’s in 3 or 4 scenes and Redford always has a bad reaction to her like she’s the grim reaper. She’s unsmiling, she’s unenthralled, her character is largely undefined and lacking dimension. She adds nothing to the movie and should have been cut out. And you’ll say, no, she is a sexual temptation that politicians must reconcile themselves to and use to put their marital relationships into sharper focus. I say BS, she sucks, edit her stringy hair bug-eyed mug out of the movie.

[@missrobyncalifornia]

Yup

[@jeshkam]

I've just realized Redford's character in this movie was either based on JFK or RFK...🤯

[@tomloft2000]

it was supposedly based on John Tunney(son of the former heavyweight champ) with a little Jerry Brown thrown in.

[@jordray5823]

@@tomloft2000 he's probably at least slightly based on Mccain, good not red scare.

[@alporythmic351]

Edwards was right about nostalgia. Haircuts for Pols went up in price later.
