mr. pike and i watched another "mr." movie -- this time mr. deeds goes to town. the original mr. deeds movie and far better than anything adam sandler tried to mimic.this frank capra movie stars gary cooper as longfellow deeds, whose estranged uncle leaves him $20 million when he dies. deeds, a small-town guy, moves to new york city to decide what to do with his money. then enters jean arthur as louise "babe" bennett, a newspaper reporter that's aiming to use deeds as means to promotion.
(i just love jean arthur! what a great, down-to-earth actress. other favorites you can see her in mr. smith goes to washington -- mr. pike's favorite -- and you can't take it with you.)
well, what babe doesn't bet on is finding out that her lead story is more of a kind, thoughtful gentleman than she ever made him out to be.
it's a sweet romantic comedy -- my compliments to mr. capra, mr. cooper, and ms. arthur. they created a fine film.
