Robert Penn Warren’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel—inspired by the rise and fall of Huey P. Long, the controversial governor and senator from Louisiana—became a gripping political thriller that won Best Picture. The film also won Oscars for the career-making performance of Broderick Crawford as Willie Stark (the film’s character based on Long) and Mercedes McCambridge’s tough, witty supporting performance as Sadie, his loyal aide. Additional nominations were earned by Robert Rossen (for directing and writing), supporting actor John Ireland, and film editors Robert Parrish and Al Clark.
DIRECTED/WRITTEN BY: Robert Rossen. WITH: Broderick Crawford, John Ireland, Joanne Dru, Mercedes McCambridge. 1949. 110 min. USA. B&W. English. 4K DCP.
