If you got Starz, the cable network, not the 70's band, check out the Cradle Will Rock...

[WCGreen]

A Tim Robbins Movie from tha late 90's...

IMDB says it best...

In 1930s New York Orson Welles tries to stage a musical on a steel strike under the Federal Theater Program despite pressure from an establishment fearful of industrial unrest and red activity. Meanwhile Nelson Rockefeller gets the foyer of his company headquarters decorated and an Italian countess sells paintings for Mussolini. Written by Jeremy Perkins {[e-mail]}

It's a drama about theatre life in the 1930s during the times of the Great Depression, the Red Scare (communism), facism, unions, Hitler, Mussolini, New York mayor Nelson Rockefeller, director Orson Welles, painter Diego Rivera, and William Randolph Hearst. This film focuses on the lives of several people during hard times in New York as many struggle to find their place in America. The main focus of the film is a play entitled "Cradle Will Rock," which tells a pro-union story about lower class workers trying to survive in a growing power-hungry world.

Anyway, it's a great, fun, sloppy giant of a movie that brings to life the middle of the Depression in New York City...

It's on Starz on Demand and is worth a look see if you got an extra 2 hours or so...

I don't think we have Starz on Demand, but I'll bet I can find it someplace else...

4. Uh, okay.

:shrug: I'm sure that's the reason Tim didn't put him in the film.
