All the King's Men - Trailer

My mother-in-law just gave me the book on which All the King's Men is based.  It's an American classic published in 1946 -- the movie will be released in December.

The movie stars Sean Penn, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo, Patricia Clarkson, Kathy Baker and Anthony Hopkins.  I love them all (maybe Winslet and Gandolfini a little less). 

Patricia and Kathy are among my current favorites -- Patricia for High Art and Dying Gaul, and Kathy for Nine Lives.

I can't wait:

RIC, I believe the American edition is still available, and it's pretty cheap:

UPDATING - The Portuguese editon's sold out for a long time now, and so seems to be the case with the British and American ones. Can this be true?

The book was published a long time ago in Portuguese (Portugal) translation under the title «A Corrupção do Poder». Couldn't find out yet whether it's still available in bookstores.
... My pleasure! :-)

Right, Bill. The 1949 movie is on my Netflix queue. And by the time the movie opens I will have read the book as well ;-)

It was previously made into a movie in 1949. That version won the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Actor (Broderick Crawford) and Best Supporting Actress (Mercedes McCambridge, who's probably known by most people today as the lady who dubbed the demonic voice of Linda Blair's possessed character in "The Exocist") It's available on DVD, if you're interested in making a comparison.

I don't know much about American literature either, still trying to learn something though ;-)

OmG, I know so little about American Literature... I believe I should be ashamed to say I don't remember ever to hear about Warren Penn...
Like the cast very much too. Hope it's a good film.
Thank you for that precious link! :-)
