“The Last Hurrah” follows the exploits of mayor, Frank Skeffington (Spencer Tracy) . He? s running for a third term but meets with mountainous opposition from the city council, who don’t indulge in his strong-arm tactics and chronic meddling in their affairs. The pack of detractors is led by Norman Cass Sr. (Basil Rathbone), whose youthful incumbent for the post of mayor, Kevin McCluskey (Charles B. Fitzsimmons) seems an impossible long shot. But Skeffington is not above dishing a dinky dirt of his absorb on the side. He uses incriminating photos of Cass? s simpleton son, Norman Jr. (O.Z. Whitehead) to blackmail Cass Sr. into relative submission. Skeffington also gingerly berates the elements of city council opposing him, including news paper editor, Amos Force (John Carradine) to whom Skeffington? s nephew, Adam Caufield (Jeffrey Hunter) is an employee and sometimes unwilling observer. As Skeffington, Tracy is pure dynamite, delving out equal portions of brutality and kindness in a tour de force performance that quite easily might be his best! There are plenty of finely wrought cameos to go around, including Jane Darwell? s crotchety spinster, Anna Lee? s subtle and tender performance as the widow and Donald Crisp? s stoic turn as His Eminence, Cardinal Burke. This is one heck of a advantageous present!
Instituted into the pipeline before Columbia’s penny-pinching regime kicked in, “The Last Hurrah” has had admirable work done on its transfer before being minted to DVD. The gray scale is expedient and the anamorphic widescreen version of the movie is very nicely rendered with blooming detail, solid blacks and difference levels. There is a certain grain structure to this film but it will not distract from the performances. There are no compression related artifacts. The audio is MONO and nicely rendered.

There are, unfortunately, NO EXTRAS!
Political dramas are not my common type of movie, but I collected enjoyed this film, if for no other reason than I’m a titanic Tracy fan and this is certainly one of his greatest roles, and Tracy turns in one of his best performances.
The rest of the cast is also wonderful, especially Jeffrey Hunter as Tracy’s newspaperman nephew, and Edward Brophy as one of Tracy’s cronies, both of whom secure extensive play in the movie. Unfortunately, Donald Crisp as the Cardinal and Basil Rathbone don’t have that great on-screen time, and Rathbone really only has one broad scene and a couple of other pieces of dialogue here and there, as does Crisp, but they’re unruffled advantageous in their roles.

A few scenes seem a tiny ragged, such as when Tracy tricks Basil Rathbone’s idiot son to accumulate the Fire Marshall job so he can blackmail Rathbone into ponying up the housing loan money. The TV interview with Tracy’s young opponent was splendid comic, and I didn’t mediate John Carradine was especially well cast as a musty KKK member, magazine publisher, and Tracy’s long-time nemesis.
Other than that, the film’s portrayal of Tracy as a tough, intellectual, down-to-earth, old-time political boss (or as Donald Crisp refers to him–”an fascinating scoundrel”) is itself engagingly and humorously done. It provides a intelligent and perhaps nostalgic behold at a vanished era of grass-roots politicians serve when they stumped in the inner-city wards, shaking hands and kissing babies and vying for votes one-by-one the hard blueprint before the advent of TV changed the political campaigning process forever.
Overall, unexcited a stout flick and especially worth seeing if you’re a Spencer Tracy fan.
