Reviews
"Mr. Rossen has assembled in this starkly unprettified film a piece of pictorial journalism that is remarkable for its brilliant parts. It clearly observes the beginnings of a Huey Long type of demagogue in an humble and honest lawyer fighting the bosses in a sleepy dirt-road town. It follows this disillusioned fellow as he gets the hang of politics and discovers the strange intoxication of his own unprincipled charm. And it wallows with him in egoism, corruption and dictatorial power.."—Bosley Crowther, The New York Timeshttp://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?_r=1&res=9405EFDB1E3BE23BBC4153DFB7678382659EDE"In 1949, Robert Rossen's film of Robert Penn Warren's fictional study of Huey Long was received as a triumph of Art over Hollywood."—Dave Kehr, Chicago Readerhttp://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/all-the-kings-men/Film?oid=1059847
