In its attempt to be ambiguous, The Seduction of foe Tynan is ultimately confusing.

FULL REVIEW

Video Librarian Magazine

Kathy Fennessy

Jerry Schatzberg's film is hardly a potboiler, and villains are in short supply; just flawed characters on a collision course. Recommended for classic film collections with a focus on political issues.

Alan Alda and Meryl Streep shine in this political drama, now out in a smart Blu-ray edition, that is still relevant with its parable about the temptations of power.

Alda's dialogue often sparkles, and grade-A performances dominate the film.

But it's Barbara Harris that truly shines in this film. She's remarkably nuanced, and her performance feels as fresh today as it must have back in 1979, which is no easy feat. Her final moment is a triumph of ambiguity.
