Even though the basic plot boils down to the good boy scout vs. the evil industrialist, the story is still surprsingly (and worryingly) resonant today. The snappy dialogue and the great chemistry between Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur keep the film fresh and enjoyable even now.

What is it about Jimmy Stewart that makes him so relate-able? Everything he and Capra have done together always feels genuine and caring, despite all the pessimism and failed dreams, Capra always manages to bring it all together and make you feel uplifted once again.

a.k.a "It's a Wonderful Government". Not bad, except for the WTF bit where he goes on a rampage punching out reporters. I was convinced "...it must be a dream sequence...?" But no. WTF. Also, a state-wide campaign of murdering children? WTF again. And it would have been better, and more realistic, with a cynical ending.

"No one else can balance the ups and downs of wistful sentiment and corny humor the way Capra can--but if anyone else should learn to, kill him."--Pauline Kael. It's not quite as saccharine and cloying as "It's a Wonderful Life" (thank god), so it's a lot easier to take. Claude Rains is the classiest sleazebag you'll ever see, and walks away with the picture, although Eugene Pallette gives him a run for his money. I often think that Jimmy Stewart just played himself most of the time.
