Studio One in Hollywood: The Man Who Had Influence (1950)

The Father Should Have Gone To Prison


It's not secret throughout this episode that the father, J.C. Grant, has lots of money and influence. J.C. is well known for his large cases of bribery & blackmail - which carries a hefty sentence in reality (especially as much money as he's paying out all the time). Also, he's trying to help buy and bribe his son David free of prison for accidentally killing a woman from a night of drinking and driving - (accidental) manslaughter. Yes the father should have gone to prison during or after this case - in fact, he should have been in prison years ago.

I also have to say that I almost understand why David drinks heavily - it's his father J.C. J.C. is a big time filthy rich crook that should have been in prison years ago. There is no way J.C. is rich enough to buy every one off - I don't believe.

The big question with this film: "Is David going to be found guilty or innocent of all charges against him?"
