06/21/2021 Excellent film about politics! Spencer Tracy. See more 09/22/2019 One of the best movies ever. So classic, serious and funny all at the same time. Explains the changing face of politics in America over the generations. See more 06/26/2019 Quite a bit of Ford's later work has nostalgia as its theme; think Cheyenne Autumn and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. As with all of us who are aging, Ford too was aware of his own world dissipating before his eyes and he projected this into his films. The Last Hurrah is one more example and its a good one, fairly accurate in its portrayal of Old Time American politics, symbolized by Tracy's role, as it loses out to a more modern, sophisticated political sense of life. It IS sentimental but what movie built on nostalgia could be otherwise? Take it for what it is and enjoy. See more Ed M @RT80499164 05/26/2019 Spencer Tracy! John Ford! See more 09/01/2013 El legendario director John Ford se aleja del western para incursionar en el mundo de la politica con un encantador y conmovedor relato que evoca al "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" de Frank Capra. En "The Last Hurrah" Spencer Tracy encarna al alcalde Frank Skeffington, un hombre que todavia piensa en un politico como un hombre del pueblo cuyas decisiones deben ser medidas y jugadas. Jeffrey Hunter interpreta a su sobrino, un periodista que intenta conocer tanto a su familiar como al hombre publico. Esta es una cinta que como todas las de Ford, es protagonizada por hombres duros que nos susurran al oido.
