The Last Hurrah
… something to shout about!
Directed by John Ford
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A political satire centered on an aging Irish-American mayor's final campaign, balancing warmth and cynicism as it explores the collision between old-guard integrity and modern corruption.
In a changing world where television has become the main source of information, Adam Caulfield, a young sports journalist, witnesses how his uncle, Frank Skeffington, a veteran and honest politician, mayor of a New England town, tries to be reelected while bankers and captains of industry conspire in the shadows to place a weak and manageable candidate in the city hall.
