Capra At His Best
A great Capra film about a man, Longfellow Deeds (Gary Cooper), who inherits millions of dollars and must deal with the big city sharks who want to take it away. Eventually Deeds realizes that the world is a much more cruel place than he could have ever imagined. Like all Capra dreamers, Deeds is reinvigorated in the end, but the journey is most certainly worth it. Cooper's eyes sparkle through the black and white frames, and you can't help but falling in love with him. Jean Arthur is a treat as the reporter who uses him and then regrets her actions. You can feel the chemistry between them in the remarkable courtroom scene where our hero is finally redeemed. Capra believed that eventually the system will help us, as he showed in 'Mr. Smith Goes To Washington' (1939), and we believe him too in this sweet and charming film. P.S. Forget the Adam Sandler version...PLEASE!
