This film was a labor of love for Alan Alda, who wrote the script and starred as the titular Senator Tynan. Barbara Harris plays his wife, Ellie, and a virtual unknown named Meryl Streep plays the senator's extramarital love interest. Really, the best thing about this film-- apart from Alda's writing ability-- is that all three of these principle actors had such great chemistry together. You don't often see depictions of love triangles in a movie where the audience likes and roots for all three personalities involved.
While Senator Tynan's affair roils his personal life, he also faces political opposition from Senator Birney, played by Melvyn Douglas, who coincidentally was married to Helen Gahagan-- the politician who ran for the U.S. Senate in 1950 against Richard Nixon and came up with Nixon's nickname, 'Tricky Dick.' Douglas, Rip Torn, and Michael Higgins all seem perfectly cast as power brokers and wheeler-dealers in the U.S. Senate.
Side note: I'd love to know where the Capitol scenes were filmed, because it doesn't seem to have been filmed at the actual U.S. Capitol Building. I don't recognize any of the landmarks depicted. My guess is that they shot the movie at a statehouse or luxury hotel, but I wasn't able to place the actual location used.
'The Seduction of Joe Tynan' is a warm movie, at times bittersweet and at other times happy and triumphant. The acting is superb-- there are no weak links anywhere in the cast. Senator Tynan's problems at home feel very real, while the movie's political subplots seem plausible enough for the era depicted.
