Cradle Will Rock (1999)


  • What's it about?: The movie covers several events from around the time of the Great Depression such as Diego Rivera's painting of Man at the Crossroads, the HCUA vs the Federal Theatre Project and of course most importantly the production of Marc Blitzstein's Cradle Will Rock. There is an overall theme of communism vs. facism in the 1930s. 
  • Thoughts: Excellent. I enjoyed the musical parts and there were great performances all-around. 
  • Rating: 9/10
  • Recommendation: Highly Recommended
