Rating: A -- Capra advocates populism and egalitarianism, underlined by values of Christianity. For him, every person is "God's creation" in his/her own right, evert person possesses some talent and should do his/her best with that gift. Full Review

...[A] sweetly dated product of the Depression....Gary Cooper reads his Left-ish courtroom dialogue with conviction...

Rating: 4/5 -- A wonderful Capra vehicle; Cooper is superb; Arthur luminous. A comic movie with heart and a point to make. True Capra-corn, and that is not a criticism. A fine example of populist art.

Rating: 3/5 -- Frank Capra's Mr. Deeds Goes to Town features a pair of great performances from Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur, and a story that is partially compelling, but it's ultimately let down by an overlong runtime that the film isn't able to sustain. Full Review

Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, with Gary Coooper as the rube with the heart of gold being sacrificed to the malicious media, is no less outstanding. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- The tedium of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town outweighs its message of freedom and charity.

Mr. Deeds is really a very intelligent and beautiful affair, a film no less charming than Mr. Capra's It Happened One Night at the same time that it is definitely more profound. Full Review
