Not sure, I haven't seen either of them.

Conservative then is reactionary now, and libertarian would be like the politics of the devil now. And Capra's films all had a healthy dose of saccharin anyway, and don't get me started on Jimmy Stewart or It's a Wonderful Life. :roll: I do remember Lost Horizon being good and was sort of and anti-utopian.

Additionally, there is a very sneaky undercurrent of this in many of Sidney Lumet's pictures whether it's Network or his various cop/court dramas.


Lumet had a pretty wide range of subjects, but Network definitely.
