Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) starring James Stewart, Jean Arthur. Directed by Frank Capra. Stewart plays Jefferson Smith, a bumpkin who is appointed to the Senate because the corrupt politicians in his home state think he will be easy to control. Arthur plays his cynical secretary, who is eventually won over by his honesty and sincerity. It's corny, but ultimately moving. Nominated for multiple Oscars, this movie won only for the original story. Good subtitles -- yellow on a black-and-white background. Grade: A
