i'm obsessed with this film
it's a tim robbins movie about the production of marc blitzstein/orson welles pro-labor musical "cradle will rock" in the 1930's. the show get cancelled by the house unamerican activities committee and the federal government sends armed guards to prevent the performance on opening night. but the cast and audience march to another theater and put it on. the musical is about how influential people prostitute themselves, while the film is about the artist as prostitute vs. person of integrity. great acting and directing and a great tapestry of subplots. - U , posted 06/30/05
