Cinematheque . Film Schedule . MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON
The Republicans Are Coming, The Republicans Are Coming! New 4K Digital Restoration!
United States | 1939 | Frank Capra
James Stewart plays a greenhorn U.S. senator whose youthful idealism runs up against the chamber’s ingrained corruption (sound familiar?) in this fast-talking, inspiring political comedy that was branded anti-American by some in Washington when first released. Stewart was a lifelong Republican. But so was, surprisingly, the film’s populist, presumably progressive director, Frank (It’s a Wonderful Life) Capra. With Jean Arthur, Claude Rains, et al. 4K DCP. 129 min.
Special admission $10; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, age 25 & under $8; no passes, twofers, or radio winners.
