'All My Sons' - Arthur Miller explains his inspiration
Arthur Miller provides a commentary on the genesis of 'All My Sons'. He explores the impact war can have on society when the moral codes no longer exist and there is a tendency towards exploitation, violation and the building of illicit fortunes. It takes moral courage to stand against this immorality, but he also expresses recognition that people participate because they are vulnerable. The commentary is supported by stills and film clips from the period.
