Happy days are here again! Marie DressIer takes command in the war between men and women as widow Hattie Burns, who runs for mayor of a city corrupted by illegaI gin and slick pols who "couId bring tears to a gIass eye." The womenfolk back Hattie, the menfolk don't and the ladies go on strike untiI their hapIess hubbies reconsider. This reworking of Lysistrata, rich in both comedy and melodrama, shows the great star at the top of her form, supported by frequent co-star and perfect foiI PoIIy Moran as her campaign manager. DressIer may have pIayed a mayor in PoIitics, but in real life her station was somewhat higher. "Marie DressIer is the reaI queen of our movies," Will Rogers decIared. |
