Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (and Other Classic Films Online)

in Film | May 1st, 2008 2 Comments

It’s not exactly the same as watching a film on the silver screen. But you get what you pay for. Below, we have Frank Capra’s 1939 classic, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, starring Jimmy Stewart and Claude Rains. For those who cling to the hope that democracies can rid themselves of corruption and special interests, this film is for you, and it also appears in our collection of free online movies.
