The Best Man Ratings & Reviews
New York Herald Tribune
Judith Crist
Cliff Robertson gives his best performance to date.
LIFE
Richard Oulahan
"There is nothing like a good, dirty, low-down political fight to bring the roses to your cheeks." says the film's ex-President. As an excellent facsimile of the real thing... The Best Man wins.
Esquire Magazine
Dwight MacDonald
It is "good theatre," no more but also no less. The director, Franklin Schaffner, has given it a lot of razzmatazz, which was probably the way to do it.
Cinema Sight
Wesley Lovell
It's hard to be educational while being poignant, but this film does both easily.
