January 01, 2024 Meet John Doe
Happy New Year! We're back with a regular episode of the podcast, with a forgotten Christmas gem from Frank Capra. MEET JOHN DOE was meant to be the "Mr. Deeds of 1941", but instead is a much more fascinating movie in which Barbara Stanwyck inadvertently molds Gary Cooper into the most popular and inspiring man in America.
