Mr. Deeds Goes to Town VHS Tape

Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) is a heartfelt comedy-romance directed by Frank Capra and starring Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur. Based on Clarence Budington Kelland’s short story "Opera Hat," the film follows a small-town greeting card poet who inherits a fortune and relocates to New York, where he resists cynical opportunists and wins over a skeptical reporter. With Capra’s signature populist warmth, sharp social satire and an Oscar-winning directorial touch, this classic celebrates decency, love and the power of common sense.
