Frank Capra’s Meet John Doe: Classic Movie with Gary Cooper
A depression-era touchstone, Meet John Doe is one of Academy Award winning director Frank Capra’s best films. Seizing upon all the dark feelings of resentment, poverty, and discontent of the nineteen thirties, Capra captures the Great Depression Zeitgeist and puts it directly on screen in this politically charged American film. Starring no less than the eternal Gary Cooper and sensational Barbara Stanwyck, Meet John Doe is a story of the creation of a political icon through media manipulation and public fraud. Cooper plays the American everyman who was once a baseball player but is now nothing more than a hobo on hard times. Sensing Cooper’s powerfully representative character, newspaper reporter Stanwyck teams with a fiendish politician to make Cooper into the figurehead of a new political revolution. But, in accordance with the times, Cooper finds that the politicians aren’t being honest. Taut, important, and skillfully made, Meet John Doe is a vital political film.

German director Fritz Lang is best known for the highly influential films from relatively early in his career, especially Metropolis (1927) and M (1931). But he also had a brief Hollywood heyday during the mid 1940s, when he made some of his best films. Scarlet Street has been claimed by film noir. This attribution is understandable. The lighting is dark, with heavy use of shadows. The characters are all shady as well. Kitty is certainly a femme fatale, although hints are dropped
In its time, "The Birth of a Nation" was a masterpiece. Its racist undertones and revisionism are quite disturbing, but it is still worth watching for its historical influence.
A tournament between hired killers. one rule Kill or Die!
