A cynical look at how no matter how much integrity a leader has, they can turn corrupt. "All the King's Men" is probably the most politically toxic film to take home Best Picture.

Prescient thriller about a power hungry politician who rallies the masses and leaves a trail of corruption in his wake. Sound familiar?

It seems the Academy used to have much better taste. This film is undeniably astute and uncannily ahead of it's time in the portrayal of the slick corruption of power.

A superb look at obsession and corruption within leadership. All the performances are real and emotional. Much, much better than the dull remake.

An interesting look at politics, greed, corruption and a man of his word who tends not to be honest. It was a very well done movie for 1949 and the performances were outstanding. Nothing special now, but has some good history. Good.

Great. I can't even think of seeing the remake bc the original was so good.
