A Lion Is in the Streets (1953)
Country: US
Technical: col 88m
Director: Raoul Walsh
Cast: James Cagney, Barbara Hale, Anne Francis
Synopsis:
A peddler from the Louisiana bayous has the knack of getting everything he wants out of people, and his wife sees a career for him in politics.
Review:
Cagney as demagogue, what else? The star seizes the opportunity with both hands, and Walsh keeps things zipping along. It's the usual tale of backwoods hick running for Governor, and not ashamed to apply a bit of graft to get where he wants (cf. All the King's Men).
