DVD review: All the King's Men (1949)

In the olden days, like in the 1940s, nice simple people with convictions who became politicians became corrupt. Golly, how things change....This is a terrific film, made a few years after the end of WW2 with more than a few passing references to the evils of totalitarian politics, etc etc. I think it was made a little before Frank Hardy wrote Power Without Glory but it could easily be the companion volume, if you were looking for continuity of theme in your dvd viewing and book reading... I hear there were a few Oscars involved, well deserved....I also hear that there's a 2006 remake to avoid, so I shall. But go find the original.
