David Nusair

The Great McGinty slowly-but-surely begins to improve as it progresses into an increasingly (and unexpectedly) engrossing midsection...

Sturges' tastes were precisely in synch with the public’s...

Sturges would go on to become one of the best and wittiest auteurs of the studio era, but before you can run, you gotta crawl.

I hadn't seen in a while a political satire as simple, edgy and funny as 'The Great McGinty', the first film directed by Preston Sturges. [Full review in Spanish]

a charming picture. It's lighthearted approach to the rather heavy topic of political corruption and morality makes this a big spoonful of medicine you want to take.
