This may be one of the best movies I've ever seen! Great combination of patriotism, humanitarianism and exposure of the dark shadows that try to suppress it and twist it.

So many meaningful and thought provoking sayings, speeches in this movie!

This is a memorable and timeless movie. Great movie to show on Independence Day or around Christmas!

And Gary Cooper! Isn't he a hotty!

Epic in the face of the down and out while survival is harsh. Bringing the plight of the state of eternal struggle and the hope that can come from one notion; to rise above the corruption of the government and those in charge.

Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyk, Walter Brennan - All excellent outstanding actors.

I love both these actors, and think they did a great job in this movie. Yes, Barbara overacted her whole career, but it worked for me....I think Gary Cooper was one of those great American actors that never got the proper recognition because he didn't do the dramas and become a "serious" actor....he made it look easy....much like John Wayne....

I think that's a typo...instead of startsets it should be starts....Also, I think John is an out of work ball player and not out of work actor.... See 1 other reply

Kinda reminded at parts of 'It's a Wonderful Life.' First time to see it. Subtle Christian references. Wish they were more prominent. Probably all that was allowed by the 'controlling interests.
