[All the King's Men] has to be sort of a borderline Noir, although Spencer Selby's bookplaces it in the Noir canon. The style of the movie is sort of semi-documentary, with the story being told mostly through the eyes of Jack Burden (John Ireland), a newspaperman who became a "true believer" in Willie Stark (Broderick Crawford) when he was a poor but honest (and ultimately unsuccessful) County Treasurer candidate several years before running for Governor.

Just in time for September 2006 release of All the King's Men remake, Sony issued the original on DVD adding a sneak preview and a trailer for the new film, but providing very little in support of the original. The film was originally released on DVD in 2001 as part of Columbia Classics line and this re-release uses the same print. The transfer has some marks and specs, but it has very good contrast.
The sound is decent and subtitles are available only in English. Like stated above, the extras are here only to support a forgettable remake. |
