Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) starring Gary Cooper, Jean Arthur. Directed by Frank Capra. Cooper plays Longfellow Deeds, a young small-town man who inherits $20 million and confounds the big-city folk by wanting to give it all away to needy people. Arthur plays Babe Bennett, the hard-boiled reporter who wants to get the scoop on Deeds -- and, of course, falls for him. It's an American classic. The subtitles -- yellow with a black outline -- are perfect for a black-and-white film. Grade: A-
