The Seduction of Joe Tynan

(1979)Directed by Jerry Schatzberg108 min · RDrama
There are many ways to be seduced. Fame. Power. Love. Joe Tynan knows them all.

Respected liberal Senator Joe Tynan is asked to to lead the opposition to a Supreme Court appointment. It means losing an old friend and fudging principles to make the necessary deals, as well as further straining his already part-time family life. But it could be a big boost to his career, so he takes it on. Helping him prepare the case is pretty southern researcher Karen Traynor, and their developing relationship further complicates and compromises his life.
