Point of Order! is a 1964 documentary film by Emile de Antonio, about the Senate Army–McCarthy hearings of 1954.

The Army–McCarthy hearings came about when the Army accused Senator Joseph McCarthy of improperly pressuring the Army for special privileges for Private G. David Schine, formerly of McCarthy's investigative staff. McCarthy counter-charged that the Army was holding Schine hostage to keep him from searching for Communists in the Army. The hearings were broadcast live on television in their entirety and also recorded via kinescope. This film was created from those kinescope recordings.

I forgot the name, but the one that showed behind the scenes of the Clinton campaign was interesting. It mostly showed Stephanopoulos and Carville. I am not a Clinton fan, but it was interesting to watch. It's even more interesting now considering they didn't have the internet. It seems really weird.
