In 1936, MGM relied on the musical "Song and Dance King Siegfried", which was a project that Universal Corporation could not afford its huge cost, and the screenwriter resold it with MGM, which had the most financial resources at the time. MGM made this film to the highest standards of luxury, and of course it was extremely profitable at 100 percent. It set off a wave of biopic musicals in the late 1930s, but it was still no match for the invasion of time. At that time, only nominated "Mrs. Peacock" and "Mr. Deeds Into the City" received far higher reviews today.

Mr. Deeds Goes to Town quotes

  • [last lines]

    Jane Faulkner: He's still pixilated.

    Amy Faulkner: He sure is!

  • Morrow: You hop aboard my magic carpet and I'll show you sights that you've never seen before.

    Longfellow Deeds: Well, I'd kinda like to see Grant's tomb and the Statue of Liberty.

    Morrow: Well, you'll not only see those, but before the evening's half through, you'll be leaning against the Leaning Tower of Pisa, you'll mount Mount Everest, I'll show you the Pyramids and all the little pyramidees, leaping from sphinx to sphinx!
