I like that you talked about the way everyone tried to stop the movie from being shown. That's a good story and shows how committed Capra was to his artistic vision, and how he believed in the freedom of speech in this country. Hard to believe there was as much corruption in politics in the 1930s as there is today, but this film demonstrates it has been there for decades. An excellent performance by Stewart, and an excellent film. “Mr. Smith” is another of the essential Capra films.
