Oom-pah-pah

Mr. Deeds Goes to Town

(1936)
A valley between the titanic It Happened One Night and that other Mr. Somebody-goes-somewhere flick, this is a pleasant enough film, but it shows what people who hate Capra are talking about: short on subtlety, long on social sanctimony--er, conscience. Still, I'll watch Jean Arthur in anything.
