Cradle Will Rock
Rating = B+
Fascinating history, in
a docudrama sort of way, of the theater, labor movement, robber
barons, socialist movement, communist witch hunts and so forth
around the time of the Great Depression. Wonderful glimpses of the
music of Marc Blitztein. Theatrical. Ambitious. Really quite
wonderful, even though the story could use a little more focus.
