After many supporting roles (including a memorable turn as a big but kind-hearted lug in the comedy A Night Before Christmas (1942)) and a stint in the military during World War II, Crawford had his breakthrough role in Robert Rossen's adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "All the King's Men". Crawford gave a masterful performance as the Southern politician based on Louisiana's Huey Long. In addition to the Oscar, he also won the New York Film Critics' Award as Best Actor.
