Smith says he was proud to then be part of the changes to the party begun by Neil Kinnock, and he still has a high regard for him as, "the person more than any other who saved the Labour party", and particularly for the dignified way he has conducted himself since resigning in 1992.

Capra fills the film with Smith's wide-eyed wonder at the glories of Washington, all of which ring false for his cynical secretary (Jean Arthur) who doesn't believe for a minute this rube could be for real.

Mr Smith Goes to Washington is Capra's ode to the power of innocence--an idea so potent that present-day audiences may find themselves wishing for a new Mr Smith in the halls of power.

To understand the drive and potential of a politician would be to understand what chromosome became confused at the X and Y crossroads and went to the vowel gas-station to ask for bad "weekend tourist" directions.
So instead of wasting valuable years of my life observing the water and heat consistency when a politician is dripped in with a pipette and how a politician reacts in a feral dog environment, I've taken action that most people in the digital age overlook.
Of course, politicians' assistants probably read such letters and giggle like drunken eels at a policemen's ball, but for the good of my satirical and slightly immature humour, I enjoy writing them.
