REVIEWS:

"Mr. Smith is one of the best shows of the year. More fun, even, than
the Senate itself. .... Mr. Capra...has paced it beautifully and
held it in perfect balance, weaving his romance lightly
through the political phases of his comedy."

-- Excerpt from The New York Times; October 20, 1939
