Excellent movie! It deserved its Academy Awards. Old but a classic. Highly recommended!

Gritty hard edged look at politics and corruption. Less about power corrupting good men than dominant and ambitious men using any means possible to succeed. The film also succeeds in part due to the realistic use of location as in the crowd scenes. This is no Mr Smith Goes to Washington.

A Hollywood great with a terrific cast and performances, Broderick Crawford towering above all. Power definately corrupts but a great movie enlightens.

This is a very much dated movie. Broderick Crawford's performance is really the only highlight.
