BIOGRAPHY (CBS): HUEY LONG (23 Min., Black/White)
The original television biography documentary series gives its usual standard-setting treatment to the controversial Governor of and U.S. Senator from the state of Louisiana. Narrated by Mike Wallace.
THE LONGS: A LOUISIANA DYNASTY (43 Min., Black/White)
William Conrad narrates this insightful documentary about the three great Longs of Louisiana politics: Huey; his brother and three time Governor of Louisiana, Earl; and Huey's son Russel, the long-serving U.S. Senator from Louisiana.
THE AMERICAN DOCUMENTS: JUST AROUND THE CORNER (1976, 45 min.)
An excellent overview of the years of "The New Deal" produced by Post-Newsweek. It provides an insightful analysis of the history of those times in America; the political and economic struggles for and against The New Deal lead by men such as Roosevelt and Long, Father Coughlin and Henry Ford, Upton Sinclair and others; the use of films to propagandize for and against The New Deal employed by Roosevelt and Zanuch, Mayer and King Vidor; and the life and loss experienced by the general masses of the disenfranchised. Narrated by the great film and television voice actor Alexander Scourby.
September 8, 1935: Louisiana Senator Huey P. Long was shot and mortally wounded while attending a session of the state House of Representatives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He died two days later. Huey Pierce Long Jr. (August 30, 1893: September 10, 1935), self-nicknamed The Kingfish, was an American politician who served as the 40th governor of Louisiana from 1928 to 1932 and as a member of the United States Senate from 1932 until his death by assassination in 1935. A Democrat, he was an outspoken populist who denounced the wealthy and the banks and called for a "Share Our Wealth" program. As the political leader of the state, he commanded wide networks of supporters and was willing to take forceful action. He established the long-term political prominence of the Long family. A supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 presidential election, Long split with Roosevelt in June 1933 to plan his own presidential bid for 1936 in alliance with the influential Catholic priest and radio commentator Charles Coughlin. After Long was assassinated, his legacy continued in Louisiana through his wife, Senator Rose McConnell Long; his son, Senator Russell B. Long, and his brothers, Earl Kemp Long and George S. Long, as well as several other more distant relatives. Under Long's leadership, hospitals and educational institutions were expanded, a system of charity hospitals was set up that provided health care for the poor, massive highway construction and free bridges brought an end to rural isolation, and textbooks, bought with tax monies rather than individually by parents, were provided to schoolchildren. He remains a controversial figure in Louisiana history, with critics and supporters debating whether he could have potentially become a dictator or was a demagogue.
