Clarksville, TN – Bitterly denounced by Washington insiders angry at its allegations of corruption, yet banned by fascist states in Europe who were afraid it showed that democracy works, the next installment in our film series remains as relevant today as it was when it was released over eight decades ago.
Get Back to the Movies at the Roxy Regional Theatre with Frank Capra’s political comedy-drama “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington” this Friday, July 9th, 2021 at 7:00pm.
When the idealistic young Jefferson Smith (James Stewart) winds up appointed to the United States Senate, he gains the mentorship of Senator Joseph Paine (Claude Rains).
However, Paine isn’t as noble as his reputation would indicate, and he becomes involved in a scheme to discredit Smith, who wants to build a boys’ campsite where a more lucrative project could go. Determined to stand up against Paine and his corrupt peers, Smith takes his case to the Senate floor in this Best Picture nominee directed by Frank Capra.
Rating: Not Rated / Running time: 129 minutes / Release year: 1939 / Director: Frank Capra / Cast: James Stewart, Jean Arthur, Claude Rains, Edward Arnold, Guy Kibbee / Licensing: Swank Motion Pictures
