Frank Capra directed this 1939 American political comedy-drama film, starring James Stewart and Jean Arthur, about one man's effect on American politics. 

Junior Senator Smith comes up with a bill to authorize a federal government loan to buy some land in his home state for a national boys' camp, to be paid back by youngsters across America. Donations pour in immediately. However, the proposed campsite is already part of a dam-building graft scheme included in an appropriations bill. Free.
