Power and the Glory, The (TCF 1933, Spencer Tracy, Colleen Moore)

Published

on


The Power and the Glory is something of a cinema breakthrough, this film was hailed at the time for its unconventional structure (dubbed ‘narratage’ and often seen as the basis for the structure of ‘Citizen Kane’ – although director Orson Welles discounted this notion.) and the debuts of Tracy in a leading role and Sturges as writer.

A corrupt tycoon rises from a poor young idealist to an uncaring robber baron. His faithful wife helps him to build his empire, then suffers from his selfishness as his power grows. It was renowned as much for Sturges’s deal with studio head Lasky for a percentage of its gross as for its structure.
