Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) by Ian H — 13 Jul 2010
If they thought that the Congress was corrupt back then, they would roll over in their graves if they could see how out of control and DEAF Washington is in the present. With great acting from a stellar cast of it's day, "Mr.
Smith Goes to Washington" still resonates over 70 years later. It's too bad that they don't make movies like this anymore. Or I should say, it's unfortunate that MOST Americans don't enjoy movies like this anymore.
This is a movie that EVERY elementary school aged kid should see AND it wouldn't hurt adults to revisit it's lessons either. If there were ever a time to release a mainstream movie that points to the corruption in Washington, with the general disastisfaction with the bureaucrats, NOW would be the time to test those waters.
However, as politically far left as the majority of Hollywood is, I doubt that any of the major movie houses would fund such a project.
