Today's Daily Dose short biography film covers the political life of Fiorello La Guardia, considered by many political historians to be the greatest mayor of 20th century America. The filmmaker has included the original voice over script to further assist your understanding:
Today on The Daily Dose, Fiorello La Guardia.
Born in 1882 Greenwich Village New York, the son of an Italian immigrant father and a Jewish mother from Trieste, early in his political career, Fiorello La Guardia won and lost a string of elected offices, including two congressional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and President of the New York City Board of Aldermen. Elected mayor of New York City in 1933 as a Fusion Party candidate—soon to crush a centuries-long string of corrupt Tammany Hall bosses—the five-foot-tall portly Republican was fluent in a number of languages, including Italian, German, Yiddish and Croatian, which combined with his energetic, can-do personality to resonate with the melting pot diaspora of New York City’s immigrant voter base for the next twelve years to come.
Considered by many political historians as the greatest mayor in U.S. history, La Guardia criticized the gangsters who brought negative stereotypes to New York’s thriving Italian community, going after mob bosses like Lucky Luciano and Frank Costello in his frequent radio addresses, stating “Let’s drive the bums out of town.” In 1934, after rounding up thousands of Costello’s one armed bandits, La Guardia bashed a number of slot machines with a sledge hammer before dumping them ceremoniously into the Long Island Sound. Working with special prosecutor and future Republican presidential candidate Thomas E. Dewey, La Guardia led a successful investigation into Luciano’s prostitution ring, eventually sending the mob boss to prison on a 30 to 50 year sentence.
During the hardscrabble years of the Great Depression, La Guardia’s close relationship with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal reforms, witnessed $1.1 billion in federal stimulus money pour into New York City infrastructure projects, working closely with La Guardia’s powerful Parks Commissioner Robert Moses to build the West Side Highway, the East River Drive, Brooklyn’s Battery Tunnel, the Triborough Bridge plus two regional airports, now known as La Guardia and JFK, at the same time presiding over the 1939 World’s Fair at Flushing Meadows and the public takeover of the New York City Subway system.
Shortly before America’s entry into World War Two, FDR appointed La Guardia as the first director of the Office of Civilian Defense or OCD, giving La Guardia full oversight over the mobilization of thousands of volunteers in such capacities as air raid wardens and the creation of blackout protocols and the installation of air raid sirens and shelters in the worrisome likelihood that German or Japanese bombers could some day reach American shores. He also created the Civil Air Patrol, juggling three days a week in Washington OCD director, followed by four days a week as New York City’s major. He passed away from pancreatic cancer on September 20th, 1947, making Fiorello La Guardia, one of the boldest leaders in 20th century America.
And there you have it, Fiorello La Guardia, today on The Daily Dose.

This episode of the 1950s TV series The Greatest Drama tells the story of the great “Crusader,” Fiorello H. La Guardia, also known as the “Little Flower.” La Guardia addresses a crowd at a political rally. He sits in a chair at his home and reads a book (01:14). Footage shows New York City’s impoverished lower east side (01:55), where La Guardia grew up. La Guardia serves in World War I as a pilot, and footage shows several planes taking off, while a photograph shows La Guardia in uniform. He was involved in an investigation of the sinking of the S4 submarine (02:52); a salvage ship works where the sub went down. He runs for mayor of New York against Jimmy Walker, who stands smiling in a crowd (03:34). La Guardia speaks passionately to an audience and the camera about reform (04:12). The episode shows City Hall (04:22); inside, newly elected Mayor La Guardia sifts through papers on his desk (04:37). Police officers sit at an event or talk (05:06); La Guardia shows his tough-on-crime attitude using a sledge hammer to destroy slot machines confiscated from mob boss Frank Costello. Firefighters drive through the city’s streets then put out a fire (05:40). La Guardia and his wife sit on a couch with their two children (06:27). The episode shows a parade as part of a rally against Nazi Germany in 1939 (06:50), and La Guardia speaks at the rally. He is then shown speaking in 1940 at the dedication of the new La Guardia Airport (07:20). Women of local air defense units prepare for potential air raids during World War II. La Guardia reads the comics over a radio broadcast, in this case a Dick Tracy comic (08:07). La Guardia walks into City Hall on his last day as mayor (09:05); he turns his office over to successor William O’Dwyer. He is soon working to help the refugees in Europe after the end of World War II. La Guardia speaks at a United Nations meeting (09:36), and, as head of the U.N. Relief and Rehabilitation Agency, he supervises the exporting of grain to Europe. La Guardia travels to Europe and inspects a camp for displaced peoples. La Guardia speaks at a U.N. conference in Switzerland (10:30). He returns from Europe, climbing out of a plane (10:50). The episode concludes with photographs and film clips of La Guardia, the “Great Crusader.”
Fiorello Henry La Guardia (December 11, 1882 – September 20, 1947) was an American politician. He is best known for being the 99th Mayor of New York City for three terms from 1934 to 1945 as a Republican. Previously he had been elected to Congress in 1916 and 1918, and again from 1922 through 1930. Irascible, energetic, and charismatic, he craved publicity and is acclaimed as one of the greatest mayors in American history. Only five feet, two inches (1.57 m) tall, he was called "the Little Flower" (Fiorello is Italian for "little flower").
La Guardia, a Republican who appealed across party lines, was very popular in New York during the 1930s. As a New Dealer, he supported President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, and in turn Roosevelt heavily funded the city and cut off patronage for La Guardia's enemies. La Guardia revitalized New York City and restored public faith in City Hall. He unified the transit system, directed the building of low-cost public housing, public playgrounds, and parks, constructed airports, reorganized the police force, defeated the powerful Tammany Hall political machine, and reestablished employment on merit in place of patronage jobs. La Guardia is also remembered for his WNYC radio program "Talk to the People," which aired from December 1941 until December 1945.
La Guardia was seen as a domineering leader who verged on authoritarian but whose reform politics were carefully tailored to address the sentiments of his diverse constituency. He won elections against the historically corrupt Tammany Hall political system, presided during the Great Depression and World War II, implemented New Deal welfare and public works programs in the city, and gave political support to immigrants and ethnic minorities. He was also supported by President Roosevelt. La Guardia was known as a reform mayor who helped clean out corruption, brought in experts, and made the city responsible for its own citizens. His administration engaged new groups that had been kept out of the political system, gave New York its modern infrastructure, and raised expectations of new levels of urban possibility.

New York City Mayor, Fiorello LaGuardia addresses gathering. Citizens learn about firefighting.
Fiorello Henry La Guardia, Mayor of the City of New York, speaks with large group of citizens, including a number of clergymen (seen at front of auditorium) regarding matters related to the City Fire Department. In separate scene,likely in the Borough of Queens, New York City firemen give citizen volunteers a chance to experience some aspects of firefighting. Several citizens line up and learn how to discharge ordinary fire extinguishers, such as found in public buildings, like schools. Volunteers experience what it is like to wear protective firefighting gear. With help from a Fire Department Officer (in white cap) several volunteers try to control a high pressure hose and direct water onto a pile of debris set up for the occasion. Location: New York City. Date: 1941.
