Review of Meet John Doe (1941) by Moe E — 24 Feb 2008
Frank Capra's illustration of the media's use of an average shmoe with a simple message to manipulate the masses for political gain is as relevant today as it was when released. A very laid-back Gary Cooper is perfect in the title role, with the beautiful Barbara Stanwyck as the woman used to mold him into the tool he becomes.
Excellent support provided by Walter Brennan.
