    So lovely!...

    Mr. Deeds is like the first model Capra wanted to portray in the film, a representation of the spirit of small-town America he so extols. Perhaps because of his long-awaited expectations, Mr. Deeds has received many godsends in the story: the impeccable appearance of justice, unexpected wealth, excellent eloquence, and the ability to distinguish right from wrong. As if born with it. As a result, we can't put in more emotion, let alone thinking. Jean Arthur's performance space is also a little...

    On the distance between fraternity and madness, the film is full of optimistic spirit of joining the WTO. It is one of Capra's representative works to express his utopian American dream. From this, we can see the recurring focus in many future films. For example, the small town mother. Issues (Mandrake Falls), the tradition of criticizing the news media (new version of Cinderella), the Suffering Lady (heroes save the United States), legal and political film court debates (the spirit of founding...

    Cooper's expression was so stiff that I doubted whether he actually acted with all his heart. Some people say that this is a wise performance, so I suggest him to test his IQ. The front of the story is still a cheesy rich love melodrama, but the back is suddenly elevated to involve social themes. Although it is only embellishment, the sense of abruptness is still quite strong....

    Funny and ironic. Only owed a little. Can't say what it is. Not defending yourself seems like a lot of work. Prefer it's a wonderful...

    36 years, drama, idealism and love again~ It's too simple to handle, but it's still...

    If Capra is not a director, he may be a politician orator. No one knows how to use mass power to instigate things. But it is extreme idealism and can only make movies. Cooper is stupid and big and not suitable for romantic...

    Franco Capra’s movies always remind us of the best, simplest and most overlooked things in life. Cooper’s character is upright, kind, humorous and witty, and the plot design is also a small section of warmth, moving and interesting. In the end, the lovely old lady in the court was so...

    Thoughts

    After watching "Mr. Diez's Into the City", this 1936 movie is really wonderful. It is recommended to everyone in life who is regarded as a "freak". In the movie, the media deliberately cast a stranger who is out of place with the city into a madman and a laughing stock; take him to court to take...

    Real best wishes

    It’s an old movie from 1954, and the black-and-white picture shows a strong American comedy style, but I want to talk about the protagonist Diez.

    He is a businessman in Manpu Town, he doesn't care about money, he loves to live the life he wants to live. He loves music and can play the trumpet,...

Mr. Deeds Goes to Town quotes

  • [Two shy sisters testify at Deeds's sanity hearing]

    John Cedar: Do you know the defendant, Mr. Longfellow Deeds?

    [long pause]

    Jane Faulkner: Oh yes, yes, of course we know him.

    John Cedar: How long have you known him?

    [Jane whispers to Amy; Amy whispers back]

    Jane Faulkner: Since he was born.

    Amy Faulkner: Yes, Elsie Taggart was the midwife.

    Jane Faulkner: He was a seven months' baby.

    John Cedar: Thank you, that's, that's fine. Do you see him very often?

    [Jane whispers to Amy; Amy whispers back]

    Jane Faulkner: Most every day.

    Amy Faulkner: Sometimes twice.

    Judge May: Must we have the echo?

    John Cedar: Suppose you just answer, Miss Jane. Now, will you tell the court what everybody at home thinks of Longfellow Deeds?

    [pause; then Jane whispers to Amy; Amy whispers back]

    Jane Faulkner: They think he's pixilated.

    Amy Faulkner: Oh, yes, pixilated.

    Judge May: He's what?

    John Cedar: What was that you said he was?

    Jane Faulkner: Pixilated.

    Amy Faulkner: Mm-hmm.

    John Cedar: Now that's rather a strange word to us, Miss Jane. Can you tell the court exactly what it means?

    Court Doctor: Perhaps I can explain, Your Honor. The word "pixilated" is an early American expression derived from the word "pixies," meaning elves. They would say the pixies had got him. As we nowadays would say, a man is "balmy."

    Judge May: Oh. Is that correct?

    Jane Faulkner: Mm-hmm.

    Amy Faulkner: Mm-hmm.

  • John Cedar: Your Honor, what she is saying has no bearing on the case. I object!

    Judge May: Let her speak!

    Babe Bennett: I know why he won't defend himself! That has a bearing on the case, hasn't it? He's been hurt, he's been hurt by everybody he met since he came here, principally by me. He's been the victim of every conniving crook in town. The newspapers pounced on him, made him a target for their feeble humor. I was smarter than the rest of them: I got closer to him, so I could laugh louder. Why shouldn't he keep quiet - every time he said anything it was twisted around to sound imbecilic! He can thank me for it. I handed the gang a grand laugh. It's a fitting climax to my sense of humor.

    John Cedar: Why, Your Honor, this is preposterous.

    Babe Bennett: Certainly I wrote those articles. I was going to get a raise, a month's vacation. But I stopped writing them when I found out what he was all about, when I realized how real he was. He could never fit in with our distorted viewpoint, because he's honest, and sincere, and good. If that man's crazy, Your Honor, the rest of us belong in straitjackets!

    John Cedar: Your Honor, this is absurd. The woman's obviously in love with him.

    Babe Bennett: What's that got to do with it?

    John Cedar: Well, you are in love with him, aren't you?

    Babe Bennett: What's that got to do with it?

    John Cedar: You are, aren't you?

    Babe Bennett: Yes!

    John Cedar: Your honor, her testimony is of no value. Why shouldn't she defend him? It's the typical American womanhood. The instinct to protect the weak.
