Episode 137 - Mr Smith Goes To Washington (1939)

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott who this week is joined by his Reel Britannia co-host, Steven to discuss one of Frank Capra and James Stewart's finest movies. It's back to what many see as the greatest year in Hollywood history….1939. The year that brought us Gone With The Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Ninotchka, Stagecoach, Goodbye Mr Chips and today's featured movie, Mr Smith Goes To Washington. Naïve and idealistic Jefferson Smith, leader of the Boy Rangers, is appointed to the United States Senate by the puppet governor of his state. He soon discovers, upon going to Washington, many shortcomings of the political process as his earnest goal of a national boys' camp leads to a conflict with the state political boss.  "Either I'm dead right, or I'm crazy!"
