Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

One of Frank Capra's classics, about an idealized youth trying to change the corruption of the U.S. Senate.
Mr. Smith, who was selected for the Senate's temporary vacancy for a seriously ill senator, came to the Capitol to be overwhelmed by a horde of corrupt politicians, yet he stood by his convictions and condemned the wrongdoing he had seen.
James Stewart's performance was once again convincing, and he won the New York Film Critics Association Best Actor Award, his upright screen image has been established.
It was voted as one of the top ten best films of the year by the National Film Critics Association; and was shortlisted for nine gold statue awards, including best film, director, leading actor, script, supporting actor (two), sound effects, soundtrack, and interior decoration. Only Louis Foster's original story came out on top.

    James Stewart, who was still ruthless at the time, was very suitable to play such a kind-hearted, innocent and persistent person. Jean Arthur is so dazzling. From the beginning, he was sophisticated and mature, complained about the boredom of work, and ridiculed Smith's innocence. Later, he was gradually infected by him, and then he was so cute and jealous, drinking with his boyfriend in the bar, and resentfully talking about the opponent of Shimei's plan. ... such acting, no wonder she is Capra's favorite actress

    I am reminded of Ibsen's play The Public Enemy.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington quotes

  • [last lines]

    Clarissa Saunders: [shouts] Yippee!

  • Clarissa Saunders: When Foley died, why didn't I clear out? How many times have you heard me say "I'm fed up with politics and I"... No, I let him talk me into staying. Secretary to a leader of little squirts! Why? Because I need the job and a new suit of clothes!

    Diz Moore: Would you settle for a husband?

    Clarissa Saunders: Mmm, I sure would!

    [suddenly realizes he's referring to himself]

    Clarissa Saunders: Huh?

    Diz Moore: You know my old standing offer. Diz Moore, poet of Washington correspondents.

    Clarissa Saunders: [smiling] Oh, that again.

    Diz Moore: I'd cherish you - and I'd stay sober.

    Clarissa Saunders: Oh, Diz, you're a wonderful egg. I don't know, maybe if I saw you once with your hair combed or something...

    [Diz sheepishly finger combs his hair]

    Clarissa Saunders: [laughs] No, I don't even think that would do it.
