DESCRIPTION:For a film that proudly waves the flag for the American way\, F
 rank Capra’s *Mr. Smith Goes to Washington* ran into plenty of political
  opposition. Many equated the film’s endorsement of one man taking a sta
 nd for his principles as subversive. After idealistic naïf Jefferson Smit
 h (James Stewart) is appointed to the U.S. Senate\, he hopes to push throu
 gh his pet project of building a boys’ camp on highly coveted property. 
 Instead\, he discovers he’s a pawn of a corrupt political machine. Thoug
 h the film doesn’t ascribe party affiliations to any of its characters\,
  it made enemies in Congress and abroad. Nominated for 11 Oscars\, it won 
 only one (for original story). But in the Class of 1939\, which many consi
 der Hollywood’s greatest year\, *Mr. Smith* stands tall. It gave Stewart
  a career-defining role. Like Capra’s best works\, it triumphantly celeb
 rates the American spirit. — *Laura Emerick*
