ADVISE AND CONSENT (FILM)
:''For the novel on which the film is based, see Advise and Consent.''
'''Advise and Consent''' is a 1962 Columbia motion picture based on the novel of the same name by Allen Drury.
The ensemble cast features Henry Fonda as Robert Leffingwell, Charles Laughton as Senator Seab Cooley, Don Murray as Senator Brigham Anderson, Walter Pidgeon as Majority Leader Robert Munson, Peter Lawford as Senator Lafe Smith, Gene Tierney as Dolly Harrison, Franchot Tone as the President, Lew Ayres as Vice-President Harley Hudson, Burgess Meredith as Herbert Gelman, Eddie Hodges as Leffingwell's son, Paul Ford as Senator Stanley Danta, George Grizzard as Senator Fred van Ackerman, Inga Swenson as Ellen Anderson, Edward Andrews as Senator Orrin Knox, Will Geer as Minority Leader Warren Strickland, and Betty White (making her film debut) as Senator Bessie Adams.
It was adapted for the screen by Wendell Mayes and was directed by Otto Preminger. Preminger tried but failed to recruit Martin Luther King Jr. to play a black U.S. senator from Georgia.
It marked the first time a post-WWII American audience saw a gay bar in a movie. Frank Sinatra was given voice credit in the film for the playing of one of his records in the bar.
The U.S. rights to this film were later acquired by Warner Bros. Pictures.
