This movie is about a play that was produced in 1937 that goes by the same name. The play is about a labor movement in a town called Steeltown USA. It and the movie are heavily pro-union, pro socialism, and heavily anti-fascism(the movie at least I haven’t seen the play). The movie goes over the production and censorship(along with the broader censorship of socialism in America) of the play, The participation of the American bourgeoisie with Mussolini pre-world war 2, and Diego Riveras Mural’s “Man at a Crossroads” along with his dealings with the Rockefellers. Although they take liberties with the timing(Man at a Crossroads was destroyed in 1934, not 1937). It is for the most part historically faithful although I’m no expert in this so take it with a grain of salt. Personally, I really liked it. I thought the story it was telling was interesting and it told that story well. I really liked Bill Murray’s character and his transition back into a communist. Plus this scene where his puppet sings the internationale was really entertaining and heartwarming. I also enjoyed Ruben Blades as Diego Rivera and how it told the story of his creation of his mural Man at the Crossroads. It was really enjoyable watching Rockefeller go from a free speech advocate to a man who wanted to destroy things that threatened his wealth. Overall I think it was a really good movie and I suggest giving it a watch if you are interested in how socialism and the labor movement were growing in the 1930s along with the government’s reaction to it. You can watch the full movie for free here . Although the quality is bad. You can also rent it from amazon prime video(ew) or Vudu and it comes in HD. If you watch it let me know what you guys think.
