Just watched "Cradle Will Rock" prompted by Glenn Beck's recent Rockefeller Center rants

A chunk of the movie is about Rockefeller commissioning Diego Rivera to paint the big mural that Beck was ranting about, even though Rockefeller hated the finished work and had it destroyed in 1933... written and directed by Tim Robbins, with a great cast, based on true events and real people, including Orson Welles and John Houseman.

I watched it when it first came out and didn't quite "get it" at the time, but 10 years later, it all makes sense to me now. Check it out if you haven't lately.
