“Keller is nearing sixty. A heavy man of solid mind and build, a business man these many years, but with the imprint of the machine-shop worker and boss still upon him. When he reads, when he speaks, when he listens, it is with the terrible concentration of the uneducated man for whom there is still wonder in many commonly known things, a man whose judgments must be dredged out of experience and a peasant-like common sense. A man among men."

Watching “All My Sons” (1948), starring Edward G. Robinson and Burt Lancaster, on the Kino Lorber blu-ray enjoying it quite a bit. Glad KL is releasing this and other classic era Universal and Paramount features that otherwise seem to have been neglected.
