		on the bum when he is hired to pretend he is "John Doe," a person invented by a female newspaper columnist declaring suicide in protest against the 'state of civilization.' Made popular thru newspaper and radio appearances, 'John Doe' finds himself the pawn of a wealthy industrialist who is manipulating him toward political ends.

		The symbolic "death" of John Doe is arguably the most painful in any of Capra's films and the character's "resurrection" is definitely the most believable.

		When Doe tells Ann [Stanwyck] in the airport waiting room that he's beginning to see the true meaning of the platitudes he had heard for years and been spouting for weeks, one senses that Capra is also speaking.

	Ultimate AV: Meet John Doe on DVD
		Meet John Doe is a scathing critique of American politics—greedy industrialists, corrupt officials, cynical media moguls—and a vote of confidence in the "common man." Capra saw this innocent brand of populism—a sort of self-styled Marxism—as a solution to pre-war America's malaise, and especially to the dangerous allure of fascism.
		After journalist Ann Mitchell (Barbara Stanwyck) is fired by her newspaper, she concocts a story about a "John Doe" so disillusioned with the system that he promises to commit suicide.
		John Doe clubs soon sprout up around the country, financed by newspaper czar D. Norton (Edward Arnold), who plots to use them as a popular power base in his quest for the presidency.

		Doe is another of Capra's populist fantasies, a film more about the hope of the goodness in men's hearts than the reality of what you're likely to find there.
		Gleason's drunken scene, where he clues Cooper in to what is really behind the John Doe movement, is an absolute revelation.

		Meet John Doe is the Frank Capra movie that spoke most directly to the mood of the United States at the time that it was made.
		All of these elements are present in Meet John Doe from its opening scene (a mass layoff at a newspaper), and they get addressed over and over again as the plot unfolds.
		One scene, in which Cooper's Long John Willoughby tries to address the crowd and is cut off, was mimicked (some would say perverted) in real life during the 1980 presidential campaign, when Ronald Reagan defiantly resisted being cut off during the New Hampshire debates.

		Long John just wants to earn enough to get the arm he injured pitching a 19 inning game fixed by Bonesetter Brown, but his shy affection for Ann keeps him around long enough to make a radio speech, written from words in her father's diary.

		Frank Capra's astonishing "Meet John Doe" (1941) is a message-laden and socially conscious populist melodramatic tale about the common man. The "sentimental, hard-hitting film is often grouped into a populist trilogy of Capra films about American individualism." "Meet John Doe" is also the title of the self-produced compilation by DJ/Producer Jon Doe of Prophetix fame.
		John Doe manages to do this on a few tracks, but lets his mind slip when dealing with the other artists.
		Lumped together with his other musical ventures, one may say that John Doe's production LP is not one of his best efforts.

	Talkin' Broadway Off-Broadway - Meet John Doe - 10/01/04
		Based on the 1941 Frank Capra film of the same name, Meet John Doe is far from perfect, but given a festival that has presented its fair share of satiric and parodic shows, how refreshing it is to see a work that is decidedly smart and serious.
		Meet John Doe is best when its music is gritty, brash, and dark, but the show often takes detours into the land of sweet and pleasant.
		The imaginary John Doe might be a cipher with all of his common man pap, but from a leading man point of view, Willoughby ultimately needs to be more charismatic.
