MEET THE MAYOR(AKA: A FOOL'S ADVICE)(1932)


Quite boring!! C

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

The major Vaudeville and Broadway star like Frank
Fay only has 16 credits on IMDb. So, if you want
to see this famous guy in a film, this is one of
your only chances to see him in a leading role.
However, I wasn't particularly impressed...and
much of it may have to do with the story...which
was also from Fay.

The story is about a guy running for mayor. When
he (Fay) makes speeches, they are unintelligible
gibberish but eventually he gets the upper hand
by bugging the mayor's office and getting the
dirt. There's more to the story than that...but
none of it really seemed interesting--especially
the attempt at pathos at the end. This didn't
work because the audience wasn't connected to
Fay's character. He wasn't necessarily that
nice a guy and his sad ending just didn't
resonate.

Overall, a film that is watchable but nothing
more. It was very low energy and curiously
uninvolving. I think a score of 4 is
fair. - MartinHafer
