Considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, the film was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 1989, deeming it" culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is a 1939 American political comedy- drama film directed by Frank Capra, starring Jean Arthur and James Stewart, and featuring Claude Rains and Edward Arnold. <SEP> Harry B. Lachman( June 29, 1886 – March 19, 1975) was an American artist, set designer, and film director. <SEP> Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore? is a 2006 documentary film directed by Frank Popper, which follows Missouri politician Jeff Smith's 2004 Democratic primary election campaign to the United States House of Representatives after the retirement of Dick Gephardt from his seat. The film follows Smith as he challenges Russ Carnahan, a member of the Carnahan political family and the frontrunner of a crowded Democratic primary, to capture the Democratic nomination for the seat. The movie's title references Frank Capra's" Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", a film in which a naive but well- meaning man( named" Jefferson Smith") becomes a Senator and fights the cynical nature of Washington. <SEP> The Dressmaker of Luneville( French: La couturière de Lunéville) is a 1932 French comedy film directed by Harry Lachman and starring Madeleine Renaud, Pierre Blanchar and Jeanne Fusier- Gir. It was made at the Joinville Studios by the French subsidiary of Paramount Pictures. Fox later bought the rights to the film and remade it as" Dressed to Thrill" in 1935. <SEP> Frank Russell Capra( born Francesco Rosario Capra; May 18, 1897 – September 3, 1991) was an Italian- American film director, producer and writer who became the creative force behind some of the major award- winning films of the 1930s and 1940s. Born in Italy and raised in Los Angeles from the age of five, his rags- to- riches story has led film historians such as Ian Freer to consider him the" American Dream personified." Capra became one of America's most influential directors during the 1930s, winning three Academy Awards for Best Director from six nominations, along with three other Oscar wins from nine nominations in other categories. Among his leading films were" It Happened One Night"( 1934)," You Ca n't Take It with You"( 1938), and" Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"( 1939); Capra was nominated as Best Director and as producer for Academy Award for Best Picture on all three films, winning both awards on the first two. During World War II, Capra served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps and produced propaganda films, such as the" Why We Fight" series. After World War II, Capra's career declined as his later films, such as" It's a Wonderful Life"( 1946), performed poorly when they were first released. In ensuing decades, however," It's a Wonderful Life" and other Capra films were revisited favorably by critics. Outside of directing, Capra was active in the film industry, engaging in various political and social activities. He served as President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, worked alongside the Writers Guild of America, and was head of the Directors Guild of America. <SEP> The film stars Tutta Rolf, Clive Brook, Robert Barrat, Nydia Westman and Dina Smirnova.
