THE POWER AND THE GLORY
U.S., 1933
Directed by William K. Howard
Written by Preston Sturges
Starring Spencer Tracy, Colleen Moore, Ralph Morgan
Approx. 76 min. 35mm print courtesy UCLA Film & Television Archive.
Sturges’ first solo screenplay tells of the rise and fall of ruthless industrialist Spencer Tracy in a complex, multi-flashback “narratage”, with the silent screen’s favorite flapper Colleen Moore (WHY BE GOOD?) as his long-suffering wife. Cited by Pauline Kael as a major influence on CITIZEN KANE.
