All My Sons (1948) The Dangers of the American Dream

"Dr. Tim Keller turned me onto this film when he raved about it in one of his sermons and I'm glad he did. One of the best out-of-print movies around; great writing, E.G. Robinson is amazing and the movie has a powerful message about the destructive power of idolatry." Eric Holmberg, The Apologetics Group

Synopsis: Based upon the play by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Arthur Miller, All My Sons tells the story of Joe Keller, a successful, middle-aged, self-made man who has done a terrible and tragic thing: during World War II, rushing to meet an order from the Army, he knowingly sold them defective airplane parts which later caused the planes to crash and killed 21 men. He framed his business partner for this crime and engineered his own exoneration.

Now, his son is about to marry the partner's daughter, the affair is revisited, and his lie of a life slowly unravels...a cautionary tale about how the American Dream can turn into a nightmare.

Edward G. Robinson is just marvelous as Joe Keller -- and more than a few critics consider this his greatest performance.

Trivia: The original Broadway production of "All My Sons" opened at the Coronet Theater in New York on January 29, 1947, ran for 328 performances and won the 1947 Tony Award (New York City) for the Best Play for the author Arthur Miller.
