New YorkÃÂs governor Al Smith pontificates briefly on the end of Prohibition. This clip should be placed in a documentary about the 30s right before scenes of drunken partying to Spike JonesÃÂ ÃÂCocktails for Two.ÃÂ By itself, itÃÂs pretty dull. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *. Weirdness: *. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: **.
