No Love for Johnnie

A very powerful film, unforgettable to any serious viewer. Peter Finch gives a full performance of a man searching for two things in life, love and political success. The movie is a study of how much a person is willing to give up for political power and respect. Finch sells his heart and soul for a pathetically small piece of this power, as an MP moving from the upper, and less influential, benches to a coveted spot in the lower or front bench. The final frame is one of the most chilling moments in film history. A must see for anyone thinking about entering politics or anyone who wants to understand politicians.
