The Power and the Glory is a 1933 film.
Plot
A man's life is retold just after his funeral. Beginning as a track walker, Tom Garner (Spencer Tracy), rose through all sorts of railroad jobs to head the company. In the meantime he lost touch with his family. When he saw what was happening it was already too late. The film, told through flashbacks, is often cited as the prototype for Citizen Kane, although Orson Welles denied ever having seen it. Tracy's powerful performance in a boardroom scene is often cited as one of his most thrilling sequences as an actor. The film was loosely based on a true story.
