The Great Man - Hits the Mark

The Great Man stars Jose Ferrer, Dean Jagger, Keenan Wynn, and Ed Wynn. It is, at times, a brutal portrayal. Of the radio (and I suspect TV) business, similar to the electric "Network" that was to come out 20 years later. Dean Jagger gives the performance of his career, and Keenan Wynn also gives the performance of his career, as well. Ed Wynn is very good, and Jose Ferrer is very convincing in the lead. A great radio personality dies, and a reporter gathers all he can about him before broadcasting an hour eulogy. Like most people of the world, the radio personality is neither good, nor bad, but human. So, the reporter must decide whether to do a hatchet job or a puff piece. Some very interesting dynamics.
