Jithin K @Jithin Feb 19, 2025 Cliché plot points and almost melodramatic execution but for me, it was a very engaging and entertaining two hours. Maybe it's also because of how this kind of formula was kind of familiar from 80s Malayalam movies that I really enjoyed this. The naive politician being used and the prostitute turning-lady tropes are mixed here in a very engaging fashion. The only problem I felt is that the style of the filmmaking really feels like it's stuck between that of the 50s and 60s due to which a handful of stuff felt a little bit compromised.

I enjoyed this one with its look into state politics and the role of a Governor. See more Sep 3, 2016 Dean Martin plays an idealistic governor fight state corruption with the help of Susan Hayward, who plays a hooker with a heart of gold. yes, that's the ridiculous premiss of this film. Despite the the silliness of the plot and the not quite believable casting of Martin as a governor, the film is a classy production that has a strong cast which also includes Wilfrid Hyde-White, Ralph Meeker, and Martin Balsam. So if you were ever wondering what "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" would have been like with Dead Martin instead of James Steward, you might want check this film out.

Fun in a melodramatic way with Hayward firing on all cylinders, her showdowns with Wilfred Hyde-White are worth watching for alone. Note how every scene in which she appears is geared to making her look her absolute best, all the furnishings and colors of the rooms compliment her appearance over all others.
