All The King's Men

Nominated for seven Oscars® and winner of three (Best Picture, Actor, Supporting Actress), this powerful adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel traces the rise and fall of Willie Brock, a small-time Southern politician loosely inspired by Huey Long, and his inevitable corruption as he rises to the top. Adapted, produced and directed by Robert Rossen, with Oscar® winners Broderick Crawford and Mercedes McCambridge in her film debut.  Crawford said he based his performance on Columbia chief Harry Cohn.
