The principles of freedom, justice, liberty, and the rule of law may be lost causes, but they are still worth fighting for.

Clarissa Saunders (Jean Arthur) knows all about Willett Creek but can’t actually serve as a Senator herself because of customs prohibiting the participation of women.

She’s still the brains of the outfit. She just won’t get a pension when she retires.

My son served as a page in high school at the Indiana Statehouse. I know there are still a number of interns in Washington, but they are much older than those in this film.

The movie slows down there a lot - in reverence and to give folks time to take a good look.

“I gotta go out and drink this over.” LOL

I get a lump in my throat every time I visit the Lincoln Memorial.

I love how Americans who never got to visit Washington got to see Mr. Lincoln here in their local movie house.

Congress could use a few Jefferson Smiths in 2026. I’ll take an idealist over what we currently have. #MrSmithGoesToWashington #TCMParty

Senator Jefferson Smith!! A gosh-darned nugget if there ever was one!!

Only we get we. #TCMParty

I love how the kids in this movie are the voice of reason.

The phrase “Stop having kittens” needs to be brought back, imo.

Noooooooo...I am not MAGA. I have been part of the #TCMParty for ages.

#MrSmithGoesToWashington - just the shot in the arm I needed tonight.

Completely relevant in every way!!

I just paid seventeen bucks for a grilled cheese at a diner in LA. Cheapest thing on the menu.

Amen.

Thank you. I’m pretty proud of my amazing team. Amazing DP and editor. Some excellent producers came on board, as well as Max Lombardo as a composer and some great surprise needle drops. Post recommended to me by Don Hahn.

I’m super pleased at the results.

I’ve been missing #TCMParty for a very good reason.

My first documentary feature #TheTendernessTour is debuting at the Oscar-qualifying #HeartlandFilmFestival on October 11. Online screeners available for those far away.

I really hope y’all like it.

A movie title!!!

That moment when you are ready to collapse from work, flip on #TCM, and discover James Garner in #SupportYourLocalSheriff?

You thank your past self for buying ice cream for just this moment.

#TCMParty

Shoot. And I was hopeful!!

When you flip on #TCM and Karl Malden is delivering his speech about “the least of mine” in #OnTheWaterfront - and you cry a little?

Yeah.

While at Earshot Studios here in Indianapolis this week, I saw this bit of memorabilia on their wall.

Good ol’ Heartland Film Festival. Made a lot of friends and memories with my first feature!!
