Agency tackles the question of the efficiency of media manipulation. An unscrupulous advertising agency, in league with equally untrustworthy political campaign manager Robert_Mitchum, plants subliminal messages in its TV commercials. Just as Vance Packard warned in the 1950s expose The Hidden Persuaders, these hidden messages persuade the viewers to vote for Mitchum's candidate. Given the potency of the the film's premise, it's disappointing to watch director George_Gaczender handle the material (based on a novel by Paul_Gottleib) is so cut-and-dried a fashion. But Mitchum is good, as are his costars Valerie_Perrine, Lee_Majors, Saul_Rubinek and Alexandra_Stewart. Hal Erickson, Rovi
