Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) by Brian S — 09 May 2008
A campy yet surprisingly frank film about American idealism in the face of political corruption. its dramatic intrigue is quite mild compared to modern-day political and courtroom thrillers, and the ending seemed almost anticlimactic and underplayed.
still, a strong introductory performance for Jimmy Stewart and a hallmark contribution to American filmmaking.
