Synopsis: Meet John Doe (1941)
Synopis: Reporter Ann Mitchell (Barbara Stanwyck) is fired from her job by an unscrupulous newspaper tycoon and retaliates by printing a fake suicide note to the editor signed by a fictional "John Doe." The letter is picked up by the public as a rallying point, as Mr. Doe claimed to be so distraught by the problems of society that he'd rather end his own life in protest. But the tycoon uses the publicity as part of a secret plan, hiring a down-on-his-luck unemployed man (Gary Cooper) to impersonate Doe--establishing him as an American symbol and creating a new political movement in the process. Frank Capra's endearing classic also stars the great character actors Walter Brennan and James Gleason.User Reviews: Meet John Doe

, March 14, 2001Reviewer: sweet_jane - See all sweet_jane's reviewsthis film represents Capra's ideals superbly.Gary Cooper's performance as the common every-guy is so natural it hits our senses the way he always does.it is also nice to have such a good suppoting actress such as Mrs Spring Buyington,even though she plays a small part.The timing is excellent and the story develops along with our sense of honesty ...
