Review of The Last Angry Man

This overly sentimental drama is well-acted by Paul Muni, but no so much by the rest of the cast. David Wayne reminds me of a good-looking Jerry Lewis, and has an uncanny resemblance to his voice. Lili Palmer does not add to the story. We are introduced to a young Billy Dee Williams, who showed promise as well The TV execs, however, are quite good in their roles, and bring comparisons to the later film "Network" which was a much better film. The highlight of the film is Big Pharma and its stranglehold on the American public. We can see those mechanisms at work during the Covid crisis. Worth viewing despite the over-sentimentality. Ignore the horribly written story in the beginning of the film.
