The Last Hurrah

Aging political boss Frank Skeffington (Spencer Tracy) tries to get reelected as mayor of an unnamed town one last time in the changing world of the 1950s, when television started to play a bigger role in the political process. Frank meets with opposition from the city council, which frowns upon his strong-arm tactics. His uphill battle is set against the political machinery that used ethnic hatred and old money as its weapons. John Ford directs.
