A film remade by Adam Sandler in 2002 Mr. Deeds, co-starringWinona Ryder. This film is the original and much better than the remake. Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur star as the small town man who hits it rich and the big city reporter than dupes him.
The problem with the remake is they screwed up a few things that made this film so good. The remake takes the focus off the romance, I would just call it a comedy. This one has the focus in the right place and is rightly a romantic comedy. Cooper is level headed, not slapstick funny, and seems to have a good sense about how to spend money. Sandler blows the money on sports cars at the end...
Part of the AFI 100 Laughs, and a movie I've always said I would watch some day. This was a fun and easy watch. The remake ruined the story line for me, but the court room scenes are excellent and Cooper's self defense was classic.
If you aren't into classics this would be a good one to get your feet wet on. It is fast paced, easy story line, happy ending, and a fun watch. Worthy of the AFI 100 Laughs.
Vote: 8/10
