The Life and Assassination of the Kingfish (1977)
Randy Newman connection

Randy Newman score, before he was as famous as his uncles for movie scores. Much better than the remake. Should be on DVD. I saw this movie in college, historically accurate as these things go. Music gives period and setting great feel. Edward Asner's performance was captivating. Was James Carville a technical consultant. He seems like he stepped off the screen of this wonderful TV Movie. "Wonderful TV Movie", is usually a contradiction in terms. Does not attempt to answer questions of what happened concerning the exact circumstances of Huey Long's shooting in the state capital's rotunda. History offers conflicting interpretations of the forensic record, if it can be accepted as fact.
