Primary Colors

When &NFi;Newsweek&NFi_; reporter Joe Klein was unmasked as the anonymous author of &NFi;Primary Colors&NFi_; -- a thinly veiled take on Bill Clinton's campaign for the 1992 Democratic presidential nomination -- heads (and pages) turned. With a sterling cast (John Travolta, Emma Thompson and Kathy Bates) and a brilliant screenplay, director Mike Nichols transforms Klein's roman à clef into a wry look at modern politics.
