The Populist Kingfish
Alabama Governor George Wallace and Louisiana Governor Huey P. Longwere pretty much extreme opposites that led to the same kind of end.The 1949 version of the movie of the Pulitzer prize winning novelwasn't as good as this one. The Robert Penn Warren novelis much like the tales in poetry of legendary figures who are bigger thanothers of their time. Andrew Jackson was a similar populist leaderof the south. Why does love and hate come together in a leadersuch that people seek to kill him?The acting in this movie is first rate and the filming and direction are also good. I think this is closer than the original movieto capturing the poetry of the novel.
