Reviews in German: "Eine ironische Komödie über die zwielichtigen Machenschaften der amerikanischen Politik der 30er Jahre ist die Geschichte des Aufstiegs McGintys vom Tramp zum Gouverneur, der nur so lange erfolgreich ist, als er die Verbrechen seiner Partei unterstützt, und der in dem Augenblick gestürzt wird, als er sich zur Ehrlichkeit bekennt. Die einzigartige Verwendung von zahlreichen Slapstick-Elementen dienen sowohl der Sozialkritik als auch dem Unterhaltungswert dieses Films." (Filmbeobachter, 15/77)
