We are 79 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and today we discuss the rise and fall of a somewhat fake but mostly real (but still fake) American politician named Willie Stark in 1949's All the King's Men.
Willie Stark is the governor of a fictional and unnamed American state that is stealthily set in Stockton, California. He is a stand-in for the very real politician Huey Long - the polarizing social Democrat from 1920s Louisiana. Known for his commitment to wealth redistribution and helping the poor - he also ran the state as the closest thing we've seen to an American dictator; full of corruption and self-enrichment. All men a king, but no one wears a crown... except for him. This real life persona was adapted by Robert Penn Warren into a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, which then became All the King's Men. It's an American political drama that definitely doesn't remind us of anything else - but how does it hold up in the Best Picture canon?
In this episode you're gonna hear:
