Adapted from Robert Pan Warren's Pulitzer Prize novel "The King's Hand", won the 22nd Oscar for Best Picture, actor Broderick. Crawford and actress Marcetis. McCambridge won the Oscar winner and supporting actress awards. Plot description Jack Bolton, a journalist with a sense of justice, went to interview Willie Stark, who was running for the county teller of Kenoma County. Stark is a motivated and caring person, but he failed. He later became governor after two more elections. However, Stark, who became the governor, began to abuse his power, triggering the impeachment of him by the parliament, but the lawless Stark launched a mass demonstration and won. When democracy, freedom, and the law were no longer conquered, the son of his opponent who was framed by him used violence to fight violence and shot him outside the parliament to end his life. This film is the first political film in Oscar history to win a grand prize. Boldly analyze the political form of American politicians, and even more unceremoniously point out that the blind support of the masses is the main reason for the abuse of power by politicians.

All the King's Men quotes

  • Willie Stark: It could have been - whole world - Willie Stark.

  • Jack Burden: Anne, Burden's Landing is a place on the Moon. It isn't real. It doesn't exist. It's me pretending to live on what I earn. It's my mother trying to keep herself young and drinking herself old. It's you and Adam living in this house as though your father were still alive. It's an old man like the judge dreaming of the past.
