Today’s delivery is another classic slice of Hollywood to watch over Christmas. Mr. Smith goes to Washington staring james Stewart is a little idealised but a classic. #mrsmithgoestowashington #film #movie #bluray #delivery
Still gets me. One of the most triumphant finales ever. Can we get a courageous Washington hero like that now? #MrSmithGoestoWashington #TCMParty
The last shot of the whole movie is perfection. #MrSmithGoesToWashington #TCMParty
The principles of freedom, justice, liberty, and the rule of law may be lost causes, but they are still worth fighting for.
Love thy neighbor.

Omg this closeup on Stewart when he realizes the content of all the messages.

It's one of the most beautifully underplayed performances. I love how much of it has no need for dialogue. It's all so fitting for a foundational artist of the silent era. #MrSmithGoesToWashington #TCMParty
This country is bigger than the Taylors, or you, or me, or anything else. Great principles don't get lost once they come to light. They're right here; you just have to see them again! #MrSmithGoesToWashington #TCMParty
There's no place out there for graft, or greed, or lies, or compromise with human liberties. And, uh, if that's what the grownups have done with this world that was given to them, then we'd better get those boys' camps started fast and see what the kids can do. #MrSmithGoesToWashington #TCMParty
Corrupt law enforcement running cars full of boy scouts off the road? This movie is brutal. #MrSmithGoesToWashington #TCMParty
Attacking the boys and stealing their papers! 😠 #MrSmithGoestoWashington #TCMParty
All these little heroes, it makes me want to cry. #MrSmithGoesToWashington #TCMParty
The one-man-holding-up-the-state thing and having a stranglehold on the press is… true to life. #MrSmithGoestoWashington #TCMParty
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness and a little looking out for the other fella, too. #MrSmithGoesToWashington #TCMParty

#MrSmithGoesToWashington is so quaint. JUST graft on the part of crooked senators and the machine? Some mere self-dealing? Ah, the good old days. #TCMParty
We don't talk about how legitimately frightening Edward Arnold is.

With the Senate floor emptying and refilling and then Jeff giving his rousing filibuster, it’s a shame there’s no C-SPAN yet. #MrSmithGoestoWashington #TCMParty
Harry Carey's performance is a thing of beauty. #MrSmithGoesToWashington #TCMParty
Whenever anyone tries to interrupt me, I want to start up and shout…. #MrSmithGoestoWashington #TCMParty
It is! It's SO upsetting. It makes you feel sick to your stomach! #MrSmithGoesToWashington #TCMParty
The way they’re framing the idealism out of him. It’s still kind of shocking. #MrSmithGoestoWashington #TCMParty
This kind of thing would probably make me legitimately insane. I don't know how Smith keeps from freaking right out.
#MrSmithGoesToWashington #TCMParty
Here's where $#%& gets *really* crazy.
#MrSmithGoesToWashington #TCMParty
Unfortunately, Claude Rains’ character is all too accurate about the way Washington works. #MrSmithGoestoWashington #TCMParty
Let’s see a parallel story from the perspective of the page boys! Plenty of drama in itself. #MrSmithGoestoWashington #TCMParty
#MrSmithGoestoWashington gives its characters quiet and intimate moments, which makes the big moments (particularly the finale) so satisfying. #TCMParty
