A Face in the Crowd is a good one from Elia Kazan. Though not 100% about politics, it is about the cult of personality and how it bleeds over into everything including politics.
That actually sounds like a great flick.
I'll have to look for it when it comes on TCM again. With Patricia Neal, who starred in
Day The Earth Stood Still. The plot sounds familiar, I may have watched it a long time ago, but so long ago I don't recall the details.
I'm often impressed by some of the sophisticated narratives in movies from what is perceived as a less complex era.
