Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) by Jerem M — 30 Nov 2012
A true American classic! Not only is it uproariously entertaining and stunningly powerful, but it is also absolutely relevant to our time today. It may be idealistic Capracorn, but it's an effective piece of work.
With a sharp script with great dialogue, stirring performances (especially from James Stewart), and great technical aspects, this movie works. Especially in the climactic last half-hour when Smith tries to hold up the floor.
The only complaint I have was that it opened and ended abruptly. All in all, it's one of the finest American films yet!
