This 1946 film stars Phillip Terry as a war veteran (he's a veteran, alright, but he wasn't in the war - he never left the country), who is persuaded by machine politico Donald MacBride to run for alderman.
Ann Savage plays the “honest government functionary” (she what?! She works for MacBride.) with whom the hero falls in love.
Terry finds that disreputable politicians are using his war record (for crissakes! He was punched out on the street) to push through some shady legislation (nope. no legislation is mentioned), so he renounces these hacks.
GODDMMIT! I wish people would actually watch a movie before they write about it! Wikipedia has this down as a drama, even!
