Hail The Conquering Hero / USA / 1944
Working my way gradually through the Sturges box set, this is perhaps a little broader than previous efforts, but still a cut above. It’s the closest a cynical wit like Sturges could ever get to patriotism, as a disillusioned factory worker returns home claiming to be a war hero, and the town wants to elect him mayor. The gags are daft, the dialogue crackles, the human interest is strong and the narrative pointed and direct. You really can’t argue with this kind of quality.
