CLIP DESCRIPTION:
An exhausted Senator Jefferson Smith (James Stewart) professes his innocence on the Senate floor.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Frank Capra's classic comedy-drama established James Stewart as a lead actor in one of his finest (and most archetypal) roles. The film opens as a succession of reporters shout into telephones announcing the death of Senator Samuel Foley. Senator Joseph Paine (Claude Rains), the state's senior senator, puts in a call to Governor Hubert "Happy" Hopper (Guy Kibbee) reporting the news. Hopper then calls powerful media magnate Jim Taylor (Edward Arnold), who controls the state -- along with the lawmakers. Taylor orders Hopper to appoint an interim senator to fill out Foley's term; Taylor has proposed a pork barrel bill to finance an unneeded dam at Willet Creek, so he warns Hopper he wants a senator who "can't ask any questions or talk out of turn." After having a number of his appointees rejected, at the suggestion of his children Hopper nominates local hero Jefferson Smith (James Stewart), leader of the state's Boy Rangers group. Smith is an innocent, wide-eyed idealist who quotes Jefferson and Lincoln and idolizes Paine, who had known his crusading editor father. In Washington, after a humiliating introduction to the press corps, Smith threatens to resign, but Paine encourages him to stay and work on a bill for a national boy's camp. With the help of his cynical secretary Clarissa Sanders (Jean Arthur), Smith prepares to introduce his boy's camp bill to the Senate. But when he proposes to build the camp on the Willets Creek site, Taylor and Paine force him to drop the measure. Smith discovers Taylor and Paine want the Willets Creek site for graft and he attempts to expose them, but Paine deflects Smith's charges by accusing Smith of stealing money from the boy rangers. Defeated, Smith is ready to depart Washington, but Saunders, whose patriotic zeal has been renewed by Smith, exhorts him to stay and fight. Smith returns to the Senate chamber and, while Taylor musters the media forces in his state to destroy him, Smith engages in a climactic filibuster to speak his piece: "I've got a few things I want to say to this body. I tried to say them once before and I got stopped colder than a mackerel. Well, I'd like to get them said this time, sir. And as a matter of fact, I'm not gonna leave this body until I do get them said."

i cried during thia scene. the sheer exhaustion on his face and in his voice, how broken mr.smith was but still holding on. beautiful movie.
And, for me, on top of the brilliant acting, the message so beautifully conveyed by that all-too-rare person willing to defiantly stand up for what's right.
To me it is all the more poignant because in WW2 Jimmy Stewart was a hero who did defiantly stand up for what's right.
Me, too! It hurt to see just how tired and broken he was, but that he still had hope.
This was played nationwide last Wednesday at the movie theaters. Just a great movie and I had a few tears myself watching it.
I was going to cry tooo.
We need more passionate, caring people like Mr. Smith (James Stewart) fighting for lost causes in this day and age. Those are the courageous people I have total respect for because I relate to them. 💙
Just finished watching this movie in my Media, Politics, and Gov't. class and this was a great film. The first hour was hard to watch and really strange but then after him being accused of stealing money it got so damn good that I couldn't keep my eyes off it. Captures the problems of our govt even today.
watch Mr Deeds Goes to Town, not the Adam Sandler remake, but the original with Gary Cooper, you might like it if you liked this one.
Sameee...i didn't really understand the 1st half of the movie but the last half was actually really good
This scene, Capra's greatest moment in film. Stewart's exhaustion in his face and voice and Raines' stoic stare provide the juxtaposition of emotions.
This is a movie!!!
We NEED these today!!!
We sure do.
More than ever.
This movie is more important now than it's been in a long time. It's time for people to love each other, to find value in others even when you disagree on things, and to fight for the lost causes
relationship goal: having someone love you so much that they'd scream like Jean Arthur if something were to happen to you.
Should have won Oscars for Best Picture, Actor and Supported Actor.
Very tough year! One of the toughest ever.

Unfortunately for this movie, 1939 is considered by many to be one of the greatest years in film
@@bryanismyname7583 WOW! I'd like to see anyone mention a better year for Hollywood films that this one.
It came out in the greatest year in movie history with Gone With The Wind, The Wizard Of Oz, Gunga Din, and many others. Every one of the movies in 1939 would've swept the oscars in any other year.
@@RockSmithStudio it's the greatest. No year has had that lineup
I loves this scene too because this is true great acting
Stewart should've won the Oscar for this film. Clark Gable was great in Gone With the Wind, as was Robert Donat, who won the Oscar that year for Goodbye, Mr. Chips, but Stewart portrayed the everyday American who wanted to help his country be a better place and to help others in America, which you don't see today as we see a lot of Anti-American films which is sad.
And this scene especially was important, in my opinion, where if he didn't pull it off the way he did and does in this scene, in a way it could've made or break the film. All of the film has lead up to this moment and he could've overacted this scene, but doesn't. He gives the character and film, that special touch where you feel for Smith and want to see him succeed.
He won the Academy Award next year, but Stewart felt him winning for The Philadelphia Story was because they didn't give it to him for Mr. Smith the previous year and was more as a make up Oscar for him. Stewart voted for Henry Fonda for The Grapes of Wrath that year.
Even an Oscar would 've been a very small rewarding for such a superb acting work. It's better this way... He was rewarded eternally in the hearts of the true cinema lovers. He has ever been one of my favorite actors. Thanks Jimmy for such a monumental portrayal!
*****
True. Plus some actors, such as Peter O'Toole and Peter Sellers never won an Academy Award. And some actors still acting like Gary Oldman don't have one either. All great actors, yet weren't awarded what's supposed to be the best film award given. Also, their careers didn't seem to suffer with the lack of Oscar or Oscars.
And Fonda should've won
@@jeffreysuggs2799 Fonda won in 1982 for "On Golden Pond".
Jared, he was so good that they gave him the Oscar next year for Philadelphia Story but it was really for this lol
i wanted to see Paine at the end of this. he was my favorite throughout the movie starting from the train ride, and I'm glad the other senator saved him oml, this is the most amazing film ever
James Stewart, the finest actor Hollywood ever produced.
This is one of my favorite movies and is still so, so relevant.
I'm watching this part every other week. True inspiration..
I believe the Senator has yielded the floor!
Yield this, Senator Paine!
It’s enough to make a grown man cry … and that’s okay.
Incredibly relevant today....
Best scene in movie history - so long as you include the VP's closing grin that didn't make this cut...
I think the same
And where his father figure confesses the truth to save the son he never had.
I've seen this movie 1 hundred times. And yet, in this clip when the shot rings out, I said "You can't stop now. I want to see what happened next." Also the fact that Claude Raines was great in this too. And I still have a crush on Jean Arthur.
Saw this movie in class a few days ago
Powerful stuff. modern day can try and make pretty impressive things. But nothing can ever change how powerful this was
Of course the logo cuts off the best part.
#601. True depiction of the 2016-2020 government. Great film with Jimmy and Jean. Thank you Frank Capra.
This scene hits differently in 2020 with all this talk about fake news.
I believe the Senator has yielded the Floor. 😆😆😆
Yield THIS, Senator Payne.
Love James Stewart's movies
i miss james stewart
1:15 Sublime actor!!!!!
I miss you and i love you jimmy
You'll never see Tom Hanks put through THIS kind of emotional wringer anymore. He's too pampered and coddled by the Oscars these days.
This is my favorite movie of all time.
Love James and Claude Rains
James Taylor and four of his whips disliked this.
Well, they can just suck it up and suck their thumbs like Prince John!
I'm sure 80 million zombies would dislike this movie if they could operate a "phone". Instead they vote for Beijing B.
Look at that guy run from his conscience. It'll follow him forever though.
Wonderful reminder of what America used to be. Such a quick path from beacon of freedom to imperialist powerhouse.
I read that Jimmy Stewart had a doctor administer dichloride of mercury in his throat to make his voice raspy.
This movie is a far cry from the politicians of today. Mr. Smith (portrayed by James Stewart) is exemplary of the type of leader who would be loved by the American people today. Cowardly, insensitive, self-serving Congressmen of today pale in comparison.
My Government teacher showed us this movie. Till this day it's very good. A man fighting for what's right.
Just now realizing pacini was doing jimmy Stewart in the finale scene of "and justice for all". "You're out of order scene."
I think "The Simpsons" did the ending better, mainly cause I hate how abrupt this ending is.
Behold a true American.
James Stewart is so handsome. Wow...God sure makes His beautiful people.
The last part was when I really loved Senator Paine
They cut out the best part!
that's not the ultimate ending :(
They sprayed alum. On his vocal cords to.make it more realistic
Great great movie..pity that the current Senate is so corrupt...just like the Taylor machine...both houses of Congress need to watch this movie about a dozen times and let it sink in.
Jimmy Stewart at his best
2:04 was that a gun?!
Yes, it was a gun. After Payne ran out of the room at 1:46, he was so overcome with guilt that he tried to kill himself. After some guys stopped him, he ran back into the senate, confessed to everything, and demanded they expel him instead of Smith.
I like the end in the remake more. That where he viciously slaughters every single senator, impaling Senator Payne with an American flag, destroying the Senate and beheading the President of the United States
Simpsons did it.
Sarcastic sounds brought me here
The Best
Statesmanship
2021
"All in favor, SAY DIE!" *Curly whooping*
Wouldnt it be darkly humorous if they just continued their session
Anyone who thinks voting matters should watch this movie. Besides, you must declare yourself a slave before you can vote. A “US citizen” is a slave albeit voluntary.
The greatest filibuster of all time
1:10
From a day and age when actors and actresses had to actually have talent.
Talent?
What's that?
@@TabooX1984 Funny, I'm not sure why, but when I read your reply, I immediately thought of Jada Pinckett Smith and Ben Stiller. He's about as engaging as those cardboard cutout fans at the NHL arenas, and her sole talent was the ability to land Will Smith. More often than not today, the most talented member of a movie-making team is the special effects guy.
Who needs talent if you're already extremely pretty?
One day. My beloved Cruz Azul will be champion once again. I dont believe in curses. You'll see. 🚂💙
2021. Still here waiting

Wasnt there a gun fight somewhere in this scene where Mr Smith decapitates the president?
