Touching! At first, it was just to see the handsomeness of James Stewart's golden age, and he was more impressed by the end. "Either I'm dead right or I'm crazy!" What a powerful line! The ending is too idealistic, and real life is probably far more cruel than this ending. Probably only in movies, the story of fighting alone can be so inspiring. In addition, the role of the chairman is very interesting. 3112
