great film from the golden age

Rating: 8/10 (18 April 2011)

This is just a terrific film that will touch anyone who has suffered injustice in their life. Amazing how Hollywood has continued to not get the awards correct as Henry Fonda really was the best actor winner for his magnificent performance but the award was given to his best friend jimmy Stewart for Philly Story. Jimmy of course should have won for MR Smith goes to washington the year before! Now John ford made some huge and glorious pics, but he was a despicable human as testified by the great maureen Ohara in her auto biography. Fate deals a cruel hand and Ford deserved what he git in later years for the acts he displayed in his little weasely life. But he could put together a picture as demonstrated by this great film
