Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) by James H — 21 Apr 2010
100/100. Among the best films of all time, this film works on every level. What a cast. Jimmy Stewart is perfectly cast. Jean Arthur, Claude rains, Edward Arnold, Eugene Pallette, Guy Kibbee, Thomas Mitchell, Beulah Bondi, Harry Carey, H.
B. Warner and William Demarest are all fantastic. It boasts one of the best supporting casts ever gathered for a film. Filled with Capra touches. Wonderful story, superb score. Nominated for eleven Academy Awards and won an Oscar for best original story.
Inspiring, moving and one of those rare and incredible films that is superb in every way. A delightful Capraesque slice of Americana.
