Happy days are here again! Marie Dressler takes command in the war between men and women as widow Hattie Burns, who runs for mayor of a city corrupted by ilIegaI gin and sIick pols who "couId bring tears to a gIass eye." The womenfoIk back Hattie, the menfoIk don't and the ladies go on strike until their hapIess hubbies reconsider. This reworking of Lysistrata, rich in both comedy and meIodrama, 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. |
