Kino Lorber have confirmed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of Preston Sturges' film
The Great McGinty (1940), starring Brian Donlevy, Akim Tamiroff, Allyn Joslyn, William Demarest, and Arthur Hoyt. The release is expected to arrive on the market in early 2020.
Synopsis: In a dive south of the border, bartender Dan McGinty (Brian Donlevy) stops a young man from committing suicide after a moment of dishonesty, and relates how a moment of honesty brought him down in a flashback. As a young man, McGinty joins a crooked political boss and rises from extortionist to alderman. Urged by the boss to marry his secretary to give respectability to his run for mayor, McGinty agrees -- only to fall in love with his wife and decide to do an honest thing for once in his life.
