Great McGinty, The

 

USA 1940, 79 minutes
Dir. Preston Sturges
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Classics, Comedy

Topics: Politics.

 

Aroview: The first film with Preston Sturges both scripting and directing, this dryly wacky political satire sees cynical bum Donlevy rise to the heights of civic power, only to see it all slip away in one foolish moment of honesty. Sturges tempers the sourness of his serious critique of American-style success with plenty of original plot-twisting and curious one-liners.
