Meet John Doe

Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck    d/ Frank Capra

Surprisingly good capracorn. An ambitious newspaper owner launches a fake populist movement (tea party anyone?) which catches fire and sweeps the country. But his nefarious intentions (essentially a fascist coup) didn't count on the resolution and downright decency of Cooper.

The story raced along and was thoroughly engaging. Even when it was at its most corny I was willing to forgive and enjoy.
