There’s an unspoken rule in movies: Characters are only allowed to preach in courtroom scenes. That’s why I enjoyed the last part of MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN a lot more than the rest. I liked the messages (which hadn't been really used in a movie before), but I had a big problem with the protagonist. It was hard to define him. At first, he seemed like a goofy guy, then like a noble man whom I had judged wrongly, then again like a goofy guy... Eventually, I realized that he’s not a real character. He’s an excuse for Frank Capra to express his opinions. I mean, in a certain way, most movie characters are like that, but they still have to be developed. The music score was mostly adapted from FOR HE’S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW. Do I really have to explain what’s wrong with that? 6/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies (including the remake) in my blog (in English, in Spanish or in Italian).
