Do you like Citizen Kane? Yes? Well then you'll love this political thriller, about one alcoholic screenwriter's personal crusade to stop newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst from interfering in the bitter Depression-era California gubernatorial election of 1934, between Old Right incumbent Frank Merriam and socialist political-newcomer Upton Sinclair (who is not Sinclair Lewis). Orson Welles also appears.
