Capra directs young Barbara Stanwyck & Gary Cooper in a B&W political satire. Barbara saves her newspaper column job by faking a letter to the editor by John Doe that is politically charged. The paper doubles in circulation and Gary is a hobo enlisted to be John Doe. The column snowballs into a national movement. Strange to watch now given the state of US politics. This film is very patriotic in the end - a cry for the common man combating the tyranny of capitalism.
No sword fights. DOOM recommended for those classic film buffs.
