Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) by Bryce I — 18 Jun 2011
Without a doubt one of the greatest American films that has ever been made. Frank Capra's Mr. Smith goes to Washington is just about flawless. Believe it or not I actually found this film exciting from start to finish.
It has a smart start that draws us in without hesitation, within five seconds we are wondering, well who's that? And from then on I found it difficult to look away. I did not realize that Stewart was that old, I looked at the date and I was surprised that this was a 1939 film, in my opinion, this is his best performance.
The film has underrated comedy as well, seeing Stewart take on the entire crowd was pretty funny. The film is truly an American Masterpiece but it is also a cinematic masterpiece. I have a new personal favorite.
