Mr. Deeds Goes to Town
A tuba-playing greeting-card poet from a Vermont town inherits twenty million dollars, moves into a Manhattan mansion he never wanted, and starts handing farms to men who have lost theirs, which moves the lawyers to have him declared insane. The reporter writing him up as a rustic idiot is falling for him under a false name. Capra's first run at the small-town innocent against the city, and the start of his populist decade.
