Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) by Alan M — 11 Apr 2008
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is an inspirational classic, with a wonderful blend of comedy and powerful drama.
This movie is bursting with energy and optimism, all stemming from James Stewart's dynamic performance as the idealistic young senator.
Jean Arthur is equally good, representing the cynicism found in many of us, when presented with someone who claims to have pure motives.
But, in true Frank Capra style, our passionate hero revives the hope inside of her and the nation, when he confronts the corrupt political machine, building up to the electrifying filibuster climax. A cinematic triumph.
