Review of The Great McGinty (1940) by Gareth H — 23 Jul 2007
Sturges-paced Sturges debut, with the underated Donlevy (whose also superb in the first Quatermass film) and the amazing Akim Tamiroff. One of the many 30s/40s comedies that touches upon a little seen aspect the material reality of our political existence that strikes me as being more contemporary, incisive, and all-round pointier than pedantic do-gooder dramatic shlock, then or now.
