Poo on Thomas Dewey

I had forgotten writing this. I see Remember the Night every year and I gets more and more dear to me. While Mitch Leisen was certainly so slouch, it was Sturges' script here that was the star and along with some great actors. There was such wonderful chemistry between Fred and Barbara, I imagine it went a long way to help with the connection they had in Double Indemnity. I took a shot at Thomas Dewey because he was the District Attorney of New York when this movie was made. I only know about Dewey because he was from the same little town in Michigan my dad was from, Owosso, and he was much loved there. He was just this guy from such a little midwestern town and he because the Governor of New York and almost president. The famous headline coming out of a Chicago paper saying Dewey beats Truman with Harry holding up the paper was printed all over the world. Dewey was a staunch, humorless, hard line Republican, in the Giuliani vein and I probably wouldn't have liked him very much if I had ever known him.
