HBO's John McCain: For Whom the Bell Tolls offers a definitive portrait of an extraordinary life
-
"Keenly aware that he's nearing the end, McCain and director Peter Kunhardt have left a guide to a figure described, for good or ill, as being the most influential non-president of the last half-century," says Brian Lowry of the documentary airing on Memorial Day. "The most striking aspect of this HBO production (whose subtitle comes from McCain's favorite book, the Ernest Hemingway novel, and arrives along with a new memoir) is McCain's serenity as he reflects on what he describes as 'an honorable life,' for which he expresses gratitude."
