"The shock of State of the Union, Capra's last movie in a political vein, is its technical sloppiness." - Dan Callahan

Masterful political satire, which feels as relevant and fresh as any modern take on the subject. Entire cast (especially Tracy and sexy Lansbury) fire on all cylinders, but film belongs to Hepburn, whose portrait of a wounded wife contributes some of her finest moments ever on screen. Director Capra can't help resorting to occasional speechifying, but when the speakers are this great, it's hard to complain. Love the besotted Margaret Hamilton in support!

Not as good as *Mr. Smith Goes to Washington*, perhaps, but if you liked that one (as well as other Capra films), this is worth checking out. Like *Smith* the characterization of politics still ring true. Tracy and Hepburn are as good as always (particularly Hepburn, especially from the moment she gets tipsy at the end). The comedic moments didn't work so well on me, but no other filmmaker consistently delivers American Idealism in as intense and sincere a way as Capra.

Doesn't quite make it to Capra classic status, but still it has an interesting screenplay and many very good scenes. Angela Lansbury is very fine.
