The Great Man Votes

Descending into the bottle after the death of his wife, reduced to being a night watchman upon losing his professorship, and on the brink of losing custody of his two kids, Gregory Vance (John Barrymore) is at the end of his rope. When fate makes his the deciding vote in the mayoral election, the ward heelers line up to curry his favor--and Vance just might find his self-respect in the process. Virginia Weidler, William Demarest, Donald MacBride co-star; Garson Kanin directs. 75 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
