About this listen

Ready for a mind-bending journey into Hollywood's forgotten gems? Before Citizen Kane revolutionized cinema, there was The Power and the Glory - a pre-Code masterpiece that dared to shatter every storytelling rule in the book. Join us as we dive into Preston Sturges's ingenious screenplay that follows a railroad tycoon's rollercoaster life through a kaleidoscope of perspectives. Think Succession meets Rashomon, but in 1933! This groundbreaking film didn't just push boundaries - it obliterated them, paving the way for decades of nonlinear storytelling. Trust us, you won't believe this came out of early Hollywood.
