Mr.
Smith goes to Washington
wallpapers - Two slimy
fat-cat legislators recruit Jefferson Smith, an innocent and
staunchly principled Montana scout leader, as the state's new
Senator, hoping to exploit his naiveté and community pride to bring
home pork-barrel funds. Once he ascends to Capitol Hill, however,
Mr. Smith finds nothing but deep-rooted corruption in Washington,
D.C., and, absolutely refusing to submit to cynicism, he tirelessly
takes the message of the American people right to their out-of-touch
representatives. Based on Lewis R. Foster's novel THE GENTLEMAN FROM
MONTANA. Academy Award Nominations: 11, including Best Picture, Best
Director, Best Actor (James Stewart), Best Supporting Actor (Harry
Carey). Academy Awards: Best Original Story (Lewis R. Foster). -
Columbia Tri-Star
