Jefferson Smith, an obscure scoutmaster in a small town, is selected to fill a vacant U.S. Senate chair. Surely this naive bumpkin can be easily controlled by his respected yet corrupt senior senator from the state. Director Frank Capra fills the movie with Smith's wide-eyed wonder at the glories of Washington...but the wonder begins to fade as Smith discovers corruption and greed in the Nation's Capitol. Bright, funny, and beautifully paced, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is Capra's ode to the power of innocence. The film also calls for faith in traditional American values of patriotism and faith in the people, and provided an educational lesson in how bills are passed through Congress.
