Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

1939

USA

A likeable yet naïve man (Stewart) is elected to serve as a senator, recommended by a senior and very powerful and pursuasive Joseph Paine (Rains), believing he can manipulate him. But this act of trust backfires when then younger man exposes his superior for all the corruption he has caused whilst in power.
Screenshots are from the GMVS DVD print, which is not quite up to scratch I'm afraid to say, so please excuse some of the poorer caps.
