1939 | DCP | USA | D: Frank Capra
When a US senator dies, Jefferson Smith (James Stewart), the head of the Boy Ranger club, is recruited to fill in. At first, he’s awed by the grandeur of Washington, until he discovers the ugliness and dishonesty lurking beneath the surface.
A timely look at integrity, power, justice and corruption in the US context.
‘While Mr Smith Goes to Washington is the most moral of films, it is so artfully filled with real emotion that it never becomes heavy-handed.’ – TV Guide Magazine
