Description

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (Columbia, 1939). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
Frank Capra directs James Stewart in one of his most beloved roles as Jefferson Smith, a naive young man appointed to fill a vacant Senate seat. He quickly learns the realities of Washington politics when he befriends a cynical reporter played by Jean Arthur, and goes up against a political machine led by his personal hero, another senator played by Claude Rains. An honest man in a sea of corruption, Smith's simple goodness and integrity win the day in the end. Offered by Heritage for only the second time in our auction history, we are proud to offer the best style one sheet to this classic comedy! This perennial favorite has had professional restoration address a tear in the bottom border into the background, a few small chips and tears in the borders and folds, and applied touchup to the folds. Fine+ on Linen.
