The screenplay won an Oscar over 'Foreign Correspondent?' It was okay and predicted the future, but not nearly as good as its' competitor. Why did it predict the future? There was clearly fraudulent voting in the presidential elections of 2008 and 2012, but I can't prove it. I CAN prove that the president himself is a fraud; ex: 'If you like your insurance, you can keep it.' When a movie seems too brief, I know it is good. I think it should have been much longer. Just when McGinty falls in love with his 'wife,' he has to go on the lam. That's what distinguishes this film from most comedies, where all is well that ends well. In most other films, they would have lived happily ever after, either in their home town or the good 'wife' would have gone on the lam with him. Of course, that would have changed the beginning. At least McGinty's wife got the key to the lock box because, after all, she was a good sport.
