Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) by Jeffrey M — 04 Jan 2012
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington was ahead of its' time in a number of ways, daring to have a political cynicism almost unheard of at the time, showing corruption while also having a distinct theme and message.
It's also a victim of its' time in that its' criticisms seem tame in today's world, not giving the film the same weight it once had. The quality of the film is undeniable, however, with excellent acting, a strong script, and the appropriate amount of humor.
Not as daring as it was in 1939, but still notable.
