A Classic Movie Comes To Blu-ray

This is for the Blu-ray.
Anyone familiar with "Mr. Smith" will have no use for another review. Anyone unfamiliar is in for a real treat. Any film by Frank Capra is worth watching, and "Mr. Smith", "Meet John Doe" and "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (NOT that terrible Adam Sandler re-make "Deeds"!) are among the best. "It Happened One Night" is still the masterpiece.
The DVD put out by Columbia was good, but the Blu-ray is stunning. There is not always a good reason to upgrade an older movie to Blu-ray, but sometimes they do it right (just as sometimes the Blu-ray is worse). This one IS better. Whether to upgrade is always a judgment call, but if you do not own the movie yet...get the Blu-ray.

This film from 82 years ago is all too accurate when it comes to presenting sleazy political manipulation and power plays. True, the technology is dated; however, the movie has a strong message--- without trying to pound an ideology into you during every scene. Jimmy Stewart is at his finest as a man of integrity trying to fight all the corruption.
I've not yet seen all the background documentaries and features included with this; but the Blu Ray is a fine rendition of the 1939 film. So pleased I bought this.

My favorite Jimmy Stewart movie next to "It's A Wonderful Life". From a simpler time in Washington D. C. politics, which is not too different from today's political theater. This film still rings uncomfortably true even today regarding the political corruption that seems ever present in our society. One of director Frank Capra's best films. The Blu-ray comes in a DigiBook package with excellent photos. The AV film quality is also excellent being mastered in 4K. Looks like this film was made today!!

I first watched this film on TV as a young child and it left a lasting impression. The idealism so well portrayed by Jimmy Stewart my be passe in our age of so much cynicism, yet don't we long for leaders who do what is right rather than what is in their own narrow interest? How good to have this a high quality blu-ray edition that makes this classic available for new generations.

I can't believe it took me so long to buy this great classic. A must buy for all classic film buffs. It looks & sounds amazing with a story that is very much still relatable today. They just don't make them like this anymore.

The Capra Collection comes with lots of insight into not only this movie but also the legacy of Frank Capra himself. Gorgeous design.

Jimmy Stewart and this amazing cast capture Washington as the machine works. This was made in the 30's and it still applies today.
