Business As (ahem) Usual: All the King's Men (1949)

by George_Chabot George_Chabot is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Sep 18 '02
Pros: Broderick Crawford, Mercedes McCambridge, Story
Cons: Not polished, but maybe that's not really a con?
This review is dedicated to one of my oldest film review buddies on Epinions, the redoubtable Macresarf1, who was and still is one of the elder statesmen of Internet movie criticism. His highly individual takes on films great and not-so-great well...

Corruption in Politics in All The King's Men

by DavidMac Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 10 '03
Pros: Broderick Crawford as Stark, intense and cynical.
Cons: Too cynical for some, I'd think. Attitudes toward certain events, issues, etc.
All the King’s Men was the Best Picture winner of 1949, and what is interesting about this particular film is how it managed to be a best picture winner considering that it is a political movie. Nowadays, I don’t imagine too many movies about...

Three reasons to see ALL THE KING'S MEN; Plus: Seven Years of Georgie Bush..

by macresarf1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Feb 13 '00
Pros: A film which led to today's frank depictions of American Politics. Mercedes McCambridge; Broderick Crawford.
Cons: It has not aged well in the wake of more realistic films produced since.
[Update: 10/7/04 -- Given the events of the last four years; given that half the American People seem to be hypnotized by a Media Circus, and poised to perhaps re-elect a fraudulent Southern Populist in the facade of George W. Bush, I have decided to ...

The Origin of "Slick Willie"

by Mummolo , Oct 31 '99
Pros: Based upon a great novel
Cons: Poor acting, despite Academy Awards
This movie is based upon a novel by Robert Penn Warren, one of the true great American writers. Unfortunately, as with most book-to-movie adaptions, the film doesn't nearly live up to its expectations. As "bad" as it is however, it still...
