TANNER ’88: Episode 9
30m
“Something Borrowed, Something New”
Directed by Robert Altman • 1988 • United States
In 1988, renegade filmmaker Robert Altman and Pulitzer Prize-winning Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau created a presidential candidate, ran him alongside the other hopefuls during the primary season, and presented their media campaign as a cross between a soap opera and TV news. In this episode, Tanner's wedding plans are deflated and his campaign prospects dwindle.
