The Good Old Bad Old Days
I sometimes wonder if my grandmother would have gone to see a film like “It Happened One Night” at the movie theatre. I look at black and white photos with the funny old hats and the rattletrap black Model Ts and chuckle. . .

Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) Video Trailer
From movies on TVOntario's Saturday Night at the Movies
"Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (1936) IMDb stars Gary Cooper as Longfellow Deeds. Mr. Deeds is a young man whose amazing abilities include writing poetry for greeting cards, playing the tuba in the town band, and giving away millions of dollars. Jean Arthur is the worldly-wise newspaper reporter, Babe Bennett, who is eventually undone by the unassuming ways of Mr. Deeds. It's an entertaining Frank Capra movie still well worth the price of admission if you are into "oldies", romantic comedy and don't mind the slightly syrupy, "pixilated" point of view of a Depression era film.
Drill down into the Frank Capra Flick that also ran on TVOntario's SNAM: "It Happened One Night". See the Midnight Oil review of this film.
