Hank Azaria, John Cusack, and many, many others? Ring a bell to anyone?

My parents were in theater. My mother told me that the play "Cradle Will Rock" is quite well known aside from the politics of it that is shown in the movie.

Loved Ruben Blades in this one, also.


Tim Robbins is a fine director.
