Tricia Welsch is Associate Professor of Film Studies at Bowdoin College. Welsch used clips to compare the 1949 film version of “All the King’s Men” starring Broderick Crawford and the 2006 re-make starring Sean Penn. Since those clips are protected by copyright, this excerpt from her talk includes only the background material she gave on Hollywood’s treatment of politics and film adaptations of novels.
This talk was part of the seminar on All the King’s Men on October 20, 2007. We welcome your feedback on this Tricia Welsch podcast.
