ABOUT THE FILM: Writer Preston Sturges famously offered the script of this classic comedy to his studio for $1 – with the proviso that he be attached to direct. This potent satire about the rise of Dan McGinty (Brian Donlevy) under the tutelage of a corrupt political boss (Akim Tamiroff) earned Sturges an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and jumpstarted the most celebrated span in Sturges’ career in the early 1940s, which solidified his status as one of the greatest directors of comedy.
