The TVI Take
1949 Best Picture winner. The rise and fall of a populist Southern politician modeled on Huey Long.
High cognitive demands from the political machinations and moral corruption. Exceptional educational value from the American political history. Broderick Crawford's Willie Stark remains one of cinema's great demagogues.
