Akim, Sturges and McGinty
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
Cast: Akim Tamiroff, Brian Donlevy, Muriel Angelus, William Demarest, Allyn Joslyn, Libby Taylor, Harry Rosenthal
Paramount Pictures
Both Tamiroff and Donlevy reprised their roles in Sturges' 1944 comedy The Miracle of Morgan's Creek
Production on the film was delayed to allow Akim Tamiroff to do The Way of All Flesh, but it began on December 15 1939.
