The Great Man (1956)


Joe Harris, preparing a eulogy for popular radio commentator Herb Fuller, finds that nobody has a good word to say about him.

Ambitious, but flawed satirical drama has some good moments, but misses its point on the way.

Halliwell**: "Patchy melodrama with a Citizen Kane framework; the best bits are very effective."

Maltin***1/2: "Hard-bitten at TV industry; top performances by senior and junior Wynns."
