Marquette – The Afternoon Classic Films will present “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” starring James Stewart, Jean Arthur and Claude Rains on Monday, February 7 at 1:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the Peter White Public Library.
Stewart won the New York Critics Award for best actor for his portrayal of Mr. Smith, an idealistic country boy who goes to Washington as a short-term senator. Disillusionment sets in slowly as he realizes the political games being played in the nation’s Capitol. His fight to expose the corruption to the public brings the film to a moving finish.
Released in 1939, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” was nominated for eleven Academy Awards. The black and white film was directed by Frank Capra and is ranked as #26 on the American Film Institute’s Top 100 Movies list.
