I joined author and podcaster Dr. Claude Berube on “The Senate” to discuss the one Hollywood movie filmed in the US Capitol complex, in 1962, Allen Drury’s “Advise and Consent.” Spoiler alert.
The two earliest adult books I read on politics were "Advise and Consent" and "Seven Days in May." Both classics came out at about the same time as I recall. The third was quite different, but also good, "The Last Hurrah."
What a superb essay. I adore this movie, one of my 10 favorites, one which I own. Your description provides background I never knew but which deeply enriches the viewing experience. Bravo!!

Thank you very much.
Get out the popcorn for a good movie.
