00:01Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:30C'est parti.
01:00The story of the men and women who live and work in Washington, their private feuds and public conflicts, which
01:06affect the lives of everyone, everywhere.
01:08To tell this story, Preminger's cameras move in where no motion picture cameras have ever been permitted.
01:15In the very room which saw the Kefauver crime investigation and the McCarthy hearings, Preminger stages another controversial inquiry.
01:22A word of warning. These people are all fictional, so don't try to guess who they are.
01:28We want to know what you intend to give away to the communists.
01:32I don't intend to give anything away, Senator Cooley.
01:35What do you know about him?
01:36He's a communist.
01:37Walter Pidgeon stars in the most important role of his career.
01:41You call that a deal?
01:43I call it extortion.
01:44Actual members of the White House Correspondents Association become actors to recreate their annual dinner for the President of the
01:52United States.
01:52You can tell your readers that the President hasn't changed his mind about his nominee one fraction of an inch.
01:59And he's going to fight for that confirmation no matter what.
02:03The blonde young man leading the applause is George Grisard from the Broadway stage, starting a new career in films.
02:10What do you pump water politicians think the world's like?
02:14You want to get us bombed out of existence for some lousy two-bit country in Lower Slavovia that can't
02:18even feed itself?
02:20Director Preminger's cameras board a warship in Chesapeake Bay to film a scene of political crisis.
02:26I don't know, Mr. President, but the last night I saw Brigg Anderson.
02:31I saw a man in terrible pain.
02:33I wonder if Leffingwell or any one man is worth all of this.
02:38Jean Tierney returns to Motion Pictures as Washington's most talked-about hostess.
02:43The setting for her lavish party is the famous estate of a former ambassador to Russia.
02:48Among the guests, you may recognize government officials and leaders of Washington society who play themselves.
02:55All sides of Washington life pass before the camera lens, from the hubbub of the social world
03:00to the suburban homes that appear so quiet from the outside.
03:04That awful creature on the telephone.
03:08He knows what he's talking about.
03:10He's not making something up.
03:12Now something's going to happen if you don't do what he wants and you've got to prepare me.
03:16He's dead.
03:19Break.
03:20In his office.
03:22Cut his throat.
03:31Let me hear a voice, a secret voice, a voice that will say,
03:53He will pursue a policy of appeasement.
03:59He will weaken the moral fiber of our great nation.
04:02Today, the future of the world is being decided in two cities.
04:06One of them is Washington, D.C.
04:09One of them is Washington, D.C.
04:39We've taken obvious one by an actor, D.C.
04:44One of them is Washington.
