All the King's Men
A small-town man rises to political power with charm and manipulation, but as his influence grows, so does the toll on his soul and the lives of those who support him.
“He Might Have Been A Pretty Good Guy . . . If Too Much Power . . . And Women . . . Hadn't Gone To his Head !”
Synopsis
A man with humble origins and initially honest intentions ascends to power through underhanded methods. Accompanying him on this tumultuous journey are an earnest journalist, a previously refined society woman, and a politically savvy but overly clever press secretary.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 17
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
