The Great McGinty (1940)
Written and Directed by Preston Sturges. An amazing satire on political power. Starring Akim Tamiroff and Brian Donlevy.
It was Sturges' directorial debut. This film stands the test of time... maybe because the idea of corrupt politicians still exists. Tamiroff as The Boss, is played to perfection.
Written and Directed by Preston Sturges
