Mr. Deeds Goes to Town is Frank Capra’s classic screwball comedy about a village innocent who inherits $20 million, only to discover it’s more trouble than it’s worth. The screwball in question is Longfellow Deeds (Gary Cooper), a small-town greeting-card poet and tuba player transplanted to the big city to administer his newly inherited wealth, where fast-pattering, wised-up cynics, sneering society denizens, and corrupt lawyers lord it over the ingenuous and straightforward. Deeds’s idiosyncrasies are amply magnified in the tabloids by journalist “Babe” Bennett (Jean Arthur), dating Deeds as a cover, only to discover she’s the sap when she falls irresistibly for him. But the damage has been done, when Babe’s column is used by a pack of corrupt lawyers, Cedar, Cedar, Cedar & Budington, to prove Deeds mentally unfit. The miracle of this unforgettable comedy is how it embraces dark material, calling into question some common assumptions about capitalism while maintaining an approachable atmosphere of light comedy, and deceptively so. You’ll be so pixilated by its charm, you won’t rest until you’ve doodled your way to a rhyme for “Budington.” –Jim Gay
