Synopsis:
Frank Capra's much-loved political parable staring James Stewart and Jean Arthur, is a classic of American cinema. When a Wisconsin senator dies, patriotic boy scout leader Jefferson Smith is appointed his successor. Smith's appointment comes at the suggestion of crooked political strategist Jim Taylor who needs a "yes man" in the office -- and the innocent starry-eyed Smith's considered too naive to suspect foul play. But Smith's savvy secretary Saunders knows the whys and wherefores, the ins and outs of the Beltway. She gives Jeff the info he needs to go head-to-head with corrupt senator Joseph Paine, champion forgotten causes and fight for good old American values.

Notes:
MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON was an original selection to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1989. The Hopper boys are played by Billy Watson, Delmar Watson, Johnny Russell, Harry Watson, Gary Watson and Baby Dumpling.
