Text: This was probably considered a B movie when it came out but it was a well done b flick! I think what I liked best about it was that it was and probably still is considered a different type of film! On the one hand it was very serious but the way it played out with that funky music in the background gave it a “oddly satisfying, almost goofy feeling!” I’m all in for anything done well but different! Highly recommended! – “The” Trainer Outdoor Training Specialist /Consultant- @62!/15 yr. Experience as RN in CCU.
Summary: “oddly satisfying, almost goofy feeling!”

Jefferson Smith: I want to make that come to life for every boy in this land. Yes, and all lighted up like that too! You see, you see, boys forget what their country means by just reading ‘the land of the free’ in history books. And they get to be men – they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: ‘I’m free to think and to speak. My ancestors couldn’t. I can. And my children will.’ Boys want to grow up remembering that. — Mr. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON
