Movie review - "Vote for Huggett" (1949) **

I liked the first two Huggett films but this entry didn't work for me. Jack Warner and Kathleen Harrison do fine work - actually the acting is accomplished. I just didn't care. Political storylines get so vague... it becames about land values and crap.

This was uninteresting. There's some pretty women without characters to play, really old leading men, a lack of a sense of family and life. All love couples have old men and younger women.

Diana Dors, one of the best things about the last movie, is given a different role, that is minor - the girfriend of a spiv who looks like Turhan Bey. She's wasted.

There's some ordinary songs. Little charm.

Sydney Box was a lousy studio head.
