Description

Down Went McGinty (Paramount, 1940) Australian Daybill (15" X 40"). This political satire was Preston Sturges' first directorial effort. The film stars Brian Donlevy as Dan McGinty, a depression-era bum who come into favor with a mob boss (Akim Tamiroff) who takes him in. The boss runs the city's corrupt political machine and sets McGinty up to be the new "reform" mayor. The only catch is that his candidacy requires marriage. So Dapper Dan enters into a marriage of convenience with honest Catherine (Muriel Angelus) who influences him to do some real good with his new authority, much to the consternation of "The Boss." There are border nicks, chips, creases, small tears, light stains and pinholes. There is a round censor stamp at the top of the graphics and the typical fold lines. This colorful Australian Daybill displays beautiful stone litho graphics. Fine+.
