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 iIlegaI gin and sIick 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 hapless 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 foil Polly Moran as her campaign manager. Dressler may have played a mayor in Politics, but in reaI life her station was somewhat higher. "Marie Dressler is the real queen of our movies," WiII Rogers decIared. |
