Jean Arthur, James Stewart and Claude Rains star in Frank Capra’s award-winning, 1939 classic.
The film follows an idealistic, small-town American senator who heads to Washington, DC, and suddenly finds himself single-handedly battling ruthless politicians who are out to destroy him.
Receiving a total of eleven 1939 Oscar® nominations (including Best Picture and Best Director), and winning one (Best Writing, Original Story), Mr Smith Goes To Washington is considered one of Capra’s and Stewart’s finest films.
