"This burlesque of the political process has, as its centre, a hustler-politician who rides to the governorship on a wave of corruption. He brings about his downfall in the one crazy minute that he decides to try for reform. Too deeply cynical about politics to qualify as acute political satire, like other Sturges's films, McGinty stands as a highly original, ironic satire of American ideals, notably the success ethic (the Lincoln theme: every bum can become a governor) and parody of movie conventions themselves (here, for example, flashbacks and the woman behind the man theme). The world of Sturges's films is also a multi-focus, irrevernt encapsulation of the speed-driven society ('the cock-eyed caravan'), dialogue comedy's equivalent of the best American 'silent' comedy."@en . . . . . .
