Gary Cooper D/ Frank Capra
This film is so 1936. Unassuming guy (from Vermont) inherits a jillion dollars, is dragged for unknown reasons to NYC where his freshness and naiveté is meant to be charming.
Pure capracorn at its worst. I'm sure audiences then, seeking relief from the Depression lapped this up but with today's eyes I found it virtually unwatchable. Everything was overplayed to make sure the dumbest person in the theater got it. But what it was...was escapism. Period.
