The film All the King's Men won an Oscar in 1950. It was recently remade in 2006 with Sean Penn and Jude Law. The film centers around Wilie Starke a recently elected politician who wants to remove corruption. It is not a horrible film. It was definitely better then the 2006 remake attempt that Penn tried. Broderick Crawford is a much more believable Stark then Penn. I thought this was a good length for the film. I am unsure of how in 2006 they added 18 minutes into the film. The fact that they had more of the story between Willie and his son involved was great. It does show more of a fall in character by Willie in this film showing him more focused on money even when the son's problem occurs and he has a monogram bathrobe. I give it 3.5/5 stars.
