The Great McGinty is a 1940 American political satire comedy film written and directed by Preston Sturges, starring Brian Donlevy and Akim Tamiroff and featuring William Demarest and (in her final screen appearance) Muriel Angelus. It was Sturges's first film as a director; he sold the story to Paramount Pictures for just $10 on condition he direct the film.[1] Sturges received an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
For the U.K. release, the film was retitled Down Went McGinty, alluding to the 1889 song.
