Trivia: A sign for "US 56" appears in the movie "All the King's Men" on the road where the governor's son crashes his car. (The fictitious state is not identified.) The movie was released in 1949, eight years before the road number was assigned. Interestingly enough, the real US 56 runs through Kansas and Oklahoma and Governor Stark's birthplace was "Kanoma" (Kansas + Oklahoma).

Directed by: Robert Rossen
Starring: Broderick Crawford, Joanne Dru, John Derek, John Ireland
Genres: Drama
Continuity mistake: In an early scene at Broderick Crawford's dinner table, his wife comes in to pour a cup of coffee. Half the coffee she pours ends up in the cup, the other half she spills on her hand and the table, yet no one seems to notice.
Jack Burden: Anne, Burden's Landing is a place on the Moon. It isn't real. It doesn't exist. It's me pretending to live on what I earn. It's my mother trying to keep herself young and drinking herself old. It's you and Adam living in this house as though your father were still alive. It's an old man like the judge dreaming of the past.
