Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Frank Capra / US, 1939 / 129 min.
Fake news? Smear campaigns? They've been around longer than we're likely to think, as is evident from Frank Capra's classic about a young senator who takes a stand against political corruption. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, one of the great films about American politics, starring a young James Stewart, is a fitting choice for the night of the US presidential election.
