Reviews:

Partially true story made exceptional by wonderful character actrs including Spencer Tracy
I was 10 years out of a college in the Boston area when this movie came out, and we remembered Mayor Curley of Boston, a brilliant orator, a charming Irish rogue whom everyone – or almost everyone – found fascinating, even when he was in prison. This story, reduced to specific wonderful vignettes of Mayor “Skeffington’s” last election and defeat is admirably played by a group of great character actors of the time. Many faces are hauntingly familiar. Tracy, already old, is superb. I consider this one of his greatest and most convincing roles. Slightly dated now, in black and white without the technical tricks we accept in our time, the plain story is sufficient to hold our attention, make us laugh and make us cry. Watching it now, we feel nostalgia for a simpler time, but realize that some things taking place in politics haven’t changed that much. Cheers for Spencer Tracy. Cast your vote for “Skeffington” even though the name is not Irish, and “Irish”is the story.

The Last Harrumph
I didn’t get a Harrumph out of that guy!! That’s because he died of boredom.

Like most of John Ford’s over-rated ouvre, this movie is dull, earnest, stiff and a scrubbed-white version of America that never existed at any time except in Hollywood’s imagination.

It’s as static as a stage play. And if you’d seen it staged in a theatre you’d be grumbling that your wife dragged you to something do boring. And then you’d be snoring.

It’s almost comical to think how highly regarded Ford was – and probably still is – considering none of this movies hold up to scrutiny all these decades later. I don’t think he ever took a single chance in his entire career.
