Wednesday, October 11 - Torchy Runs for Mayor

Torchy Runs for Mayor (1939)

Angry about newspaper articles by Torchy Blane (Glenda Farrell) accusing him of taking bribes in collusion with the mayor, Dr. Dolan (John Miljan) withdraws advertising revenue from her paper. Undaunted, Torchy convinces Hubert Ward (Irving Bacon), the editor of an independent paper, to publish them. When Ward, who is running as a reform mayoral candidate, is murdered, Torchy's fiancé, detective Steve McBride (Barton MacLane), nominates Torchy to run for mayor, and she accepts the challenge.
