Genres & Description

Action Comedy Drama Romance

8.0 / 10

Longfellow Deeds lives in a small town, leading a small town kind of life - including playing the tuba in the town band. When a relative dies and leaves Deeds a fortune, Longfellow picks up his tuba and moves to the big city where he becomes an instant target for everyone from the greedy opera committee to the sensationist daily newspaper. Deeds outwits them all until Babe Bennett comes along. Babe is a hot-shot reporter who figures the best way to get close to Deeds is to pose as a damsel in distress. When small-town boy meets big-city girl anything can, and does, happen.

Good comment, the fact that people fail to see that movies and directors evolve over time to satisfy what consumers find entertaining always staggers me. If you don't like Hollywood's stance on something, don't watch it. - @Thursday, March 7, 2013 1:15 AM

Capra's films were simple and idealistic to give people of the Great Depression an escape from their unemployment and food stamps. And fuck people that say that everything good existed in the past. The Cohen Brothers, Soderbergh, Wes Anderson, Gus Van Sant, Frank Darabont, and Ridley Scott are just a few of the great current day directors. - @Thursday, November 22, 2012 3:51 PM

First of all I think Capra's films gave us something to shoot for and don't necessarily represent the time period as it was. They were meant to give people hope and make them think about how they could improve this world through their own actions. Having seen a lot of films old and new though, I would have to say that 80% of films made today are pure garbage presenting pure vileness for morals. It seems to take old folks like Eastwood, Spielberg, Lucas, and a few others to make a good movie now. - @Friday, November 11, 2011 10:02 PM

@happyiswhathappydoes Couldn't agree more. Hollywood and thus society with it ... are utter trash compared to this greatness. - @Tuesday, February 1, 2011 3:22 PM
