Reviews
Mine: Strained satire. Maybe too much of an edge to be enjoyable. Some good performances, but it left me with a bad taste.
Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: Bittersweet satire of contemporary America; minister Van Dyke leads township crusade to stop smoking, in order to win mammoth contest. Trenchant finale doesn't entirely gibe with rest of film: still worthwhile, with Bob & Ray hilarious as newscasters. Fine score by Randy Newman; Horton's last film. Made in 1969.

None Given
(out of 5 stars)		 I loved this movie. It is real people, real problems and one of the best Satires of religion, tobacco and middle-American gossip you will ever see.
