A strange combination , corruption in a small town and comedy.
I am still not sure if this can be a good combination , maybe if you make it a sort of satire like Blazing saddles or Naked gun but this movie does not do that .
Instead it has really descent jokes combined with serious scenes of corruption from the mayor and the judge ( nothing to laugh about) .
So this combination makes it a strange movie because it seems that it does not take corruption very seriously or simplify it .
Maybe in the war time people wanted to laugh a litlle bit but still .
