Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) by Patryk C — 26 Jul 2012
A smashing performance by James Stewart as the naive and cautious, yet strong and courageous, Mr. Smith. In the most climatic scene of the film, Stewart shows his marvelous acting chops through a speech that is able to send chills down the spine.
While it's a dramatized account of a political intrigue and a revealing story about the greedy and hollow nature of politicians as such, the story is so perfectly directed by Frank Capra that it becomes more and more engaging with every minute, still having its light comedic touch.
A cynical, funny, and touching film for the whole family.
