Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle, move over. In the reversal of sex roles, the female losing candidate in a congressional race attempts to make over a beer distributor who she has insulted on the night of her defeat. He needs her help for a major promotion and when the candidate who beat her, dies in a freak accident, she decides to promote him for Congress.
It's wonderful how he learns to speak well and knows how to work an audience. It's also wonderful seeing how he takes the high road by refusing to submit damaging evidence that he has against his opponent's wife.
Frances Fischer steals the scenes she is in by playing our male hero's common mother, very common that is. She is often hysterical to watch.
While they both share the common thread in being defeated, this is also a story of two people with different backgrounds falling in love.
A wonderful film. I was so sorry when it ended.
