This is a delightful movie. Its like a Frank Capra move - about idealism and being a good citizen. It reminds me of the move, "Mr Smith Goes to Washington." It concerns a man who fights City Hall for the right reasons. Interesting that it is set in the pre-war time period, when the country was gearing up for war.
The main character, Col. Effingham keeps making war references - great sense of hum. Wonderful dialogue. An excellent supporting cast. It is surprising the movie is not shown more often. A young Joan Bennett does very well. She is the subject of a running joke regarding her attractive legs.
