"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature." -Abraham Lincoln
This is such an amazing scene from an incredible movie...its message is just as relevant today as when it was made. If only Congress was full of Jefferson Smiths in real life.
I really liked this movie! My government teacher showed it to us and a lot of people didn't like it because it's so old and blablabla... it's a classic! And Mr. Smith says very beautiful things about this country!
Ime a cornball I know but I believe in the olde fashioned ideals of being a man of standing up I can look anyone on the earth in the eye and day I have never sold out
Such a brilliant movie. Sometimes when you're down, all you need is a good pep talk. I have to wonder, though: how was Smith going to get back to the train station? Union Station is on the other side of the Capitol and the Mall from the Lincoln Memorial. Maybe the trollies were running late that night.
I LOVE this movie. I can't believe it was made back in 1939! I always thought it was from the 50s or 60s or something. Does anyone know what song is playing in the background- it sounds like "bury me not" but there is something else, like around 2:20?
I too have a Mr Smith/ hi noon moment coming up I too have Ben smeared n it's worn me out n down altho I'm not completely innocent but what they're doing is much worse n it's my duty to expose em only I have no jean Arthur in my life God how I love her
Y don't they put up a statue in DC of Mr Smith to remind us but it'll never happen because it would scare too many bureaucracrats that us we the people we r America we do our own thing.but if anyone foreign or domestic f s w us look out we need to stand up again not whimper like a bunch of cowled people but stand up for what's real and right n say enough were not gonna take this B's anymore n do something about it our forefathers did
This is not the time for apathy. Our nemesis Rudy understands how big the coming weeks are. Are we really going to roll over and die now that the going is getting tough? Did you really think this would be easy? Are we going to allow ourselves to be influenced by the media now and stop giving? Donate today to Ron Paul
i don't know if he was or wasn't and don't really care to know. I was replying to someone else who was screaming about jimmy stewart being a racist. I was trying to tell him that whether stewart was or was not a racist the point has nothing to do with the move Mr. Smith Goes to Washington in any way. the movie is still a great movie. you should check the page with all the comments. it will layout the comments in order. meaning it shows the comment i replied too
"They aren't all Taylors and Paines in Washington--that kind just throws big shadows, that's all." Amen. It isn't just Ron Paul, or any ONE person against the corruption. There's Jim DeMint, Michelle Bachman, Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, Sarah Palin, Chris Christie, and so on.
@inkenyo youve completely misunderstood the movie,.,,its not about patriotism at all...Its about politics corruption and one mans journey from innocence to experience. Patriotic is a weasel word that the Taylors can use to manipulate the people....youd understand this if you actually undestood the movie! Your idea or being patriotic would be to support US wars of aggression because not to is to be unpatriotic...right?

The movie may be old but the values expressed in it, and the love for America should always remain!
God Bless America❤️🇺🇸

What a great actor! His persona is an inspiration to generations old and new.
I LOVE the soundtrack here.
You did it uploader. For those of us who have watched the movie, you posted the best video there is on TH-cam. You are off the scales man.
One of the greatest of films I love jean Arthur give all for a girl like her
Ime a cornball I know but I believe in the olde fashioned ideals of being a man of standing up I can look anyone on the earth in the eye and day I have never sold out
Every man n boy should see this film n each girl should stand by her guy
Exactly...😢😢😢😢😢😢
"where can we get a drink" lol it was power her speech than that happend.

Unfortunately, the Taylors and Paines always seem to win in the end...
Statesmanship 😢😢😢😢😢

He was about to take the feels train when Saunders showed up

that's just because we haven't gotten to the end yet
There's a msg I there. .. there is a reason for my madness . ❤️🖤💌
Obama 08! Wait, what?
A great movie. And the only politician in real life who reminds me of Mr. Smith is Ron Paul. I'm sure I'm not the first to say it.

🤣 some of the most corrupt ones there are! haha!
Ted Cruz... Marco Rubio... Tim Scott... Donald Trump... Ron DeSantis...
God why did I even reply to your other comment....

How does "race" even come to play in this movie lol!
The film was true to the time in which it was made. Would you be happy if it showed blacks as respected, honored Americans? Wouldn't that be a lie?
Remember, this movie was released in the late 30s, when Blacks were treated as second-class citizens, before the civil rights movement.
This movie is racist how...?
