Great Mcginty (1940) Blu-Ray

In Depression-era Chicago, the local political machine hacks put vagrant Dan McGinty (Brian Donlevy) to work-committing voter fraud-and were so impressed with his aptitude that they started backing him for public office. He rises up the chain all the way to the governor's mansion... but will he regret listening to the pleas for reform from his new, show-purposes spouse (Muriel Angelus)? Preston Sturges' directorial debut also netted him the Original Screenplay Oscar; Akim Tamiroff, Allyn Joslyn, William Demarest co-star. 82 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer.
