*********** LR's Olympia is classy, which is why Time in 2005 called it one of the greatest 100 films of the last 80 years.: http://listing-index.ebay.com/movies/Olympia_(film).html <http://listing-index.ebay.com/movies/Olympia_(film).html> As far as the backdrop at the Denver confab, at first the election campaigns were pretty sedate affairs, but all American elections have been a circus since the 1800 election fiasco, which resembled modern contests in every way. So Bob Barker or some other carny obviously suits the American group consciousness (Mencken: Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1800 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1800>
