All the King’s Men (1949)

2011-09-14T12:16:00.001-07:00

I’ve been heavily involved in the effort to bring All the King’s Men (1949) to the Fox Theatre on Friday evening, September 30th. The critically acclaimed film received more than thirty awards, including three Academy Awards. Because much of the filming took place in Stockton, the movie forever preserved our city’s landscape of the 1940’s on the big screen.

In order to provide the community with context and significance, I have explored the reasons Stockton was selected for the filming. This involved researching the specific locations and sites used for the movie and delving into the innovative and effective use of Stocktonians as extras. I will be presenting this on Wednesday, September 28th (6:30pm at the UOP Library).

Attached is a press release with more information. Hope to see you at both these events.
Alice van Ommeren

Press Release:
‘ALL THE KING’S MEN,’ THE PULITZER-PRIZE BOOK AND MADE-IN-STOCKON OSCAR-WINNER, JOIN IN SEPT 30 SCREENING DOWNTOWN AT BOB HOPE THEATRE
Friends of the Fox Theatre will screen “All the King’s Men,” the 1949 movie made in Stockton, concluding a month of attention paid to Robert Penn Warren’s novel in the OneBook/OneSanJoaquin program of the Stockton-San Joaquin Public Library. Those who have read the novel ? and who are attending talks, panels and other book-related events countywide ? will be able to see its acclaimed movie adaptation. Some may see friends, relatives, even themselves, in it.

Hollywood used Stockton in 1948 to film the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, based on the rise and fall of a corrupt 1930s Southern governor. It won more than 30 major awards and sealed Stockton in the 1940s forever on the screen.

Shooting here will be the subject of a 6:30 p.m. report by Stockton historian Alice van Ommeren on Wednesday, September 28, in the Community Room of the library at University of the Pacific, a partner in OneBook/OneSanJoaquin.
Van Ommeren will explore the reasons Stockton was selected as the filming location, identify the local landmarks in the movie, and describe the use of Stocktonians as extras in the movie.
“All the King’s Men” won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Broderick Crawford as Best Actor, and Mercedes McCambridge (in her film debut) as Best Supporting Actress. Teenage heartthrob John Derek was also in the cast.
Acclaim catapulted producer-director Robert Rossen into the vanguard of independent filmmaking. Subsequently he was honored for directing “The Hustler” with Paul Newman, who later was to film “Cool Hand Luke” in Stockton.
Doors and the box office will open early at 5:30 p.m. to lobby displays by local archivists of photographs of the shoot, scenes of 1940s Stockton, and various memorabilia. Complimentary refreshments and beverages will be available there.
Programming will start at 6 p.m. with 25-minute home-movie footage when the “All the King’s Men” was shooting here, showing views of downtown, its buildings and the busy life of the city.
This landscape of Stockton will be introduced by City Council member Diana Lowery, whose family has loaned it for public viewing. As it is screened, Tom Thomson will play live music of the era on the Fox’s Mighty Morton organ.
An account of the political turmoil that Stocktonians were experiencing at the same time Hollywood was making a movie here about political turmoil will be given by Tod Ruhstaller, Director of The Haggin Museum, another OneBook partner.
Fox Friends President Nancy Slatten said there will be a single drawing for the full-size “All the King’s Men” movie poster, after which the usual Classic Cinema Series will begin at 7 p.m. with the screening of the movie.
This evening and the countywide reading program, one of the most ambitious undertaken by the library, had its genesis in the persistence of Ms. van Ommeren, the local historian who teaches Stockton history at Pacific.
“For a year Alice had been badgering us about screening ‘All the King’s Men’ on our series,” said Vince Perrin of the Fox Friends board and president of Friends of the Stockton Public Library, one of several underwriters of OneBook .
Librarian Suzy Daveluy, who chairs OneBook/OneSanJoaquin, had drawn a blank as to what book to offer this fall.
“It was as though a light bulb went off in both our heads,” she said. “This great book, and then the movie made from it in Stockton. Plus political shenanigans in government ? what could be more current?”
Visit One/Book activities throughout the county at the library website at www.readsanjoaquin.org for the full schedule of events. With the exception of the screening, all the literary events are open to the public without charge.
Theatre lobby displays and refreshments also are free, but to see the movie and pre-screening talks inside, regular series admission prices will apply: $8 for teens and adults; $4 for children 12 and under.
Tickets online at www.bobhopetheatre.com may be redeemed for the poster door prize ticket at the box office or in the lobby. For more information or to be added to the email list, call 209-931-4009 or 369-6850, or visit FriendsoftheFox2@yahoo.com.
