Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (Columbia, 1939).
With the success of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, (1936) director Frank Capra planned a follow-up film, in which his morally upright, down-to-earth lead character would continue his crusade for small-town values in the nation’s capitol. Unfortunately, Gary Cooper, who had brought Longfellow Deeds to such vivid life in the previous film, was unavailable when this picture got underway, so Capra chose James Stewart to fulfill the role. The result was a true American classic, although a controversial one in its day. As a beloved film, paper from this production is always in high demand.
