I tell all my friends to watch All My Sons but it’s rarely played on TCM. Excellent movie and my fav with Edward G.
That’s a good movie! I haven’t seen it in years. I’m sure it is based on truth. There are bad people everywhere.
was he a communist?
a communist wouldn’t show a guy succeeding in a capitalistic society like the neighbor’s son in Death of a Salesman.
He wouldn’t point out that he could have gone with his brother and been wealthy.
he wouldn’t show how spoiling kids is a disaster or that being very well liked means nothing.
he showed the rough side of capitalism, like the son didn’t care about his relationship with the father, who owned the business and made all kinds of promises.
that just tells me to get things in writing.
All My Sons, he’s right. He didn’t say profiting was bad. He did say profiting when it endangers military or innocent is bad.
maybe i didn’t read his real communist books.
