This is probably the most powerful and gripping drama I have ever seen. Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" invariably tops the critics'list of his plays, but I feel "All My Sons" is even greater. Edward G.Robinson is just marvelous as the businessman/father who OK's the release of defective airplane engine cylinders to prevent him from losing the lucrative government war contract. He makes his immoral act even more heinous by blaming his partner for it and letting him go to prison. He justified his actions as doing something that 'any man would do for his family'. When his duplicity is revealed and the horrible consequences of it are fully realized, you see Robinson go from a man on the top of the world to a man completely destroyed. This was, in my opinion, his very finest performance. Maidy Christian, as his wife, and Burt Lancaster, as his son, also give stellar performances.This is one of America's finest plays given its full justice on the screen. *Viewer Reviews* Wow. Caught this, by chance, just surfing cable early one morning on Turner Classic Movies. Never heard of it. This films grabs you by the collar from frame one and doesn't let go. What is this film? Sneak away to the Net. Written by Arthur Miller who wrote Death of a Salesman. Script, direction, acting, black and white cinematography - all outstanding. I won't go into the plot synopsis, but a young Burt Lancaster is terrific in it, as are the recognizable women in the cast. But the stand-out here is the performance of Edward G. Robinson, who's simply perfect. Man - could that guy act. All My Sons is a powerful philosophic morality play that couldn't have been executed any better. Do yourself a favor and rent it, put it in your Netflix queue, or buy it here on Amazon. If anything, to remind yourself of the power of films in the age of lame comic book adaptations, sequels, and CGI dreck. Back To Top
