Frank Capra: State of the Union. As much as there is to admire in State of the Union. The main weakness in State of the Union. Is the treatment of the two main female characters. The characters are not written as real human people but as representations of ideas, Kay representing ambition, lust, and corruption, and Mary representing idealism and family.
