The Man Who Reclaimed His Head
November 23, 2018
The Man Who Reclaimed His Head is a classic, long forgotten anti-war drama which you should not miss. Passionate intellectual Paul Verin (Claude Rains) writes editorials decrying war and crony capitalist war profiteering and allows politician Henry Dumont (Lionel Atwill) to take credit for his words in the broadsheet he publishes. When Dumont’s corrupt political aspirations bring him closer to the very financiers and industrialists condemned in Paul’s writings, he urges Paul to soften his rhetoric. After Paul refuses, Dumont decides to undermine his employee — first by seducing his wife, Adele (Joan Bennett).
