"Longfellow Deeds, small town greeting card poet, idealistically comes to New York intent on giving away his inherited millions to those most in need. This was the first of Capra's thirties trilogy of populist comedy-dramas (see also Mr. Smith ... and Meet John Doe). The common theme of the small town Yankee straightening out the cynical big city is in the tradition of American cracker barrel humour epitomised by Will Rogers (Dr Bull, Judge Priest). Capra injects a spark of truth into the film's fanciful premise through the humanity of Cooper as the sap - and Arthur as the newspaperwoman with a cynical exterior."@en
