The film 'A Civil Action' that starred John Travolta in the lead role and was based on a book of the same title is moving into the curriculum. Nevertheless, viewers and readers alike should be warned against the tendency to misunderstand the case where the film and the book were based.

Lappe was a leading voice in the environmental and anti- biotechnology movements. He also served as an expert witness and consultant for plaintiff attorneys suing chemical companies, including lawsuits against silicone gel breast implant makers, the producers of the herbicide Agent Orange and the high-profile case against W.R.

Whenever a great film is remade as in the case of "All the King's Men," an Oscar winner for Best Picture in 1949 the question arises as to why. One might suspect the makers of this new version, including executive producer James Carville, wanted to use the story of political corruption to make a point about our current leaders.
Thankfully, that isn't the case. Writer and director Steven Zaillian (screenwriter of "Schindler's List" and director of "A Civil Action") plays it straight in his adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's 1946 book that's widely considered one of the best political novels ever written. His "All the King's Men" is a moving illustration of Lord Acton's maxim that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
