THANKS A MILLION (1935) in honor of the 2003 gubernatorial recall. The lively musical comedy, which the All Movie Guide calls a ?sharp satire of politics,? chronicles a troupe of entertainers who attempt to liven things up at a political event. When the candidate for governor is too drunk to make his speech, the lead crooner (the great Dick Powell) from the troupe steps in, and the crooked political backers decide they want him to run for governor instead.
