While it had its "Capra ending, " Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) was an otherwise fairly dark film—much like It's a Wonderful Life would be a few years later. Jimmy Stewart starred as the wet-behind-the-ears interim state senator Jefferson Smith, appointed because the likes of Senator Joseph Paine (Claude Rains) and others in power assume he'll be naive enough to back a conspiracy to make them richer. Stewart's character has his reputation ruined by Paine when he threatens to expose them all, culminating in a 23-hour filibuster by Smith to Congress, as suggested by his seemingly one ally, his secretary Clarissa Saunders (Jean Arthur). Not surprisingly, real-life American politicians weren't crazy about how they were portrayed. 1. IT WAS MEANT TO BE A SEQUEL TO MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN. Initially, director Rouben Mamoulian bought the rights to Lewis R. Foster's unpublished story, "The Gentleman From Montana" (known elsewhere as "The Gentleman from Wyoming"), for $1500, which he then sold to Columbia Studios chief Harry Cohn at the same price in exchange for the chance to direct another movie.

Director Armand Mastroianni and writer Susan Rice seem to realize that there's precious little story here, so they pad it out with subplots from other movies — Alice as a bench-warmer on the basketball team, Zoe preparing for a piano recital that she must ace to graduate. It all amounts to killing time, essentially, as well as providing some heartwarming (if, in the case of the basketball, badly shot) moments along the way. Lensed at UCLA and at Smith, the movie mostly relies on Shepherd's ability to convey Alice's vulnerability to make her sympathetic and relatable for Hallmark's mostly older female audience. By that measure, give "Mrs. Washington" passing grades, with the disclaimer that this is much closer to community college fare than the Ivy League.
