The Best Man (1964) Movie Drinking Game
Take a Drink: for every reference to Americana
Have a Red Cocktail: for every reference to the notorious Red Scare
And Cheers: to this film for dramatizing American politics!

First of all, this film has nothing to do with weddings. Aside from that, without being too political, Hollywood sometimes likes to release films involving fictional political campaigns. In fact, film stars in real life will often campaign for film roles, awards, and accolades. Nevertheless, fictional stories about presidencies in the United States have been a unique feature of American cinema. For example, a film classic that centers around that notion is The Best Man.
A Toast!
Obviously, one of the best features of this film is Lee Tracy’s Academy Award-nominated performance for his supporting role as “President Art Hockstader.” Furthermore, the film features a cast that includes Henry Fonda and Cliff Robertson.

Unfortunately, there is a surprising amount of mature thematic content and innuendo in this film, but there will be no major spoilers.
Verdict
Ultimately, who really is “the best man”? If audiences want to know, watch this film!
