Primary Colors
Primary Colors, directed by Mike Nichols with a screenplay by Elaine May, was adapted from Joe Klein’s 1996 roman à a clef, Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics and stars John Travolta as President Jack Stanton and Emma Thompson as his wife, Susan.
“This film does more than just poke fun at the Clintons. It evolves into a neat examination of the power of the American media machine and its insatiable appetite for political intrigue, an appetite which leaves it vulnerable to manipulation by skilled political operatives as well as anyone wanting to become famous by hurling mud at people in power.” Fred Harvey: The History Place
