"This film uses the 1966 California gubernatorial race between Republican Ronald Reagan and Democratic incumbent Pat Brown to show how, every two years, autumn is the season of campaigns and elections in the United States. The film highlights election rituals and focuses on the excitement, rhetoric, and rivalries of campaigns, and how political candidates and issues are presented to the American public. The film is narrated by Lee Marvin and features an appearance by actor Chuck Connors in support of Ronald Reagan" (US National Archives).
