Joe was a huge hit back then but little known now. Strange film with a great performance by Peter Boyle. I knew about it as a kid from reading the parody in Mad Magazine back issues.

The greatest political comedy ever, Sturges' The Great McGinty is playing TCM on November 3rd in my neck of the woods. If you haven't seen it do yourself a big favour and give it a watch. It shows just how corrupt things were back in 'the good old days' and what voter fraud really looks like. Plus it is hilarious and bittersweet.
