Plot
A small-town man inherits a fortune and takes on the cynics of New York.
Sinekatalog’s take
A small-town tuba player inherits a fortune and runs into city cynicism. Capra's comedy with Gary Cooper is sweet and populist, with a courtroom finale that champions common decency.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
