P.O.V. Film Series Screens 'Mr. Smith Goes To Washington' at Tapp's Feb. 19

It’s an election year and primary season is in full swing. With that in mind, Point Of View Film Series stimulates the political animal in all of us with a screening of ‘Mr. Smith Goes To Washington’ (1939). 

Jimmy Stewart (in a career-defining role), Jean Arthur and Claude Rains star in Frank Capra’s award-winning 1939 classic about an idealistic, small town American senator who heads to Washington D.C. and suddenly finds himself single-handedly battling ruthless politicians out to destroy him. It is a classic tale of the every-man taking on the powers-that-be. It still resonates today, more than seventy five years after its release. Nominated for a total of eleven Oscars (including Best Picture and Best Director), and winning one (Best Writing, Original Story), MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON is considered one of Capra’s and Stewart’s finest films. 

This film screening is part of a continuing collaboration between Point of View Film Series and Tapp’s Arts Center. P.O.V. meets at Tapp’s to view films of varying styles and genres from around the world. 

Seating is provided but your chairs, pillows and cushions are welcome.
