4. Didn't Orson Wells make that movie long ago? It was called "Citizen Kane."
That's what came to mind as I was watching this movie. Then on the credits I saw that it was adapted from a novel by Upton Sinclair, that old muckraker, so I thought it must have been about exposing the horrors of greed, but without a sermon about reform. It just didn't seem all that interesting to me...
