Note that this was John Barrymore's last great performance, and it helped that he was a real life alcoholic washed up man playing an alcoholic washed up man on screen. Also note that the movie was basically remade in 2008 as "Swing Vote" with Kevin Costner in the lead role. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
