Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) by Tynan Y — 10 Oct 2012
Like most of Frank Capra's films, "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" seems to become more and more relevant as each year passes. It is nostalgic without being sickening, patriotic without being preachy and idealistic without being improbable.
Jimmy Stewart is unbelievable in this archetypal role, and delivers a closing monologue that never fails to invoke emotion and chills.
