Video Clips From Frank Capra's Film Meet John Doe

Setting:

The 1941 film is about a newspaper reporter (Barbara Stanwyck) who writes a fraudulent column after threatened with being fired. She invents a fictitious reader as the author of a letter that she calls John Doe who will commit suicide by jumping off City Hall as a protest against the fear, hate, greed, hypocrisy, corruption and man's inhumanity to man in society. She recruits an ex-minor-league baseball player/drifter (Gary Cooper) to pretend he is a real John Doe. He preaches charity, kindness, plain-speaking, homely aphorisms, and a doctrine of good neighborliness as an antidote to "all of the evils in the world."

First Video Clip

The first clip is John Doe's first radio address to the nation reading words written by the reporter's late father—"not one of those complaining political speeches. We're tired of hearing nothing but doom and despair...something simple and real, something with hope in it."

Second Video Clip

The second clip shows the positive response to his message from the "average John Doe". He visits a small town where the people recognize him. The clip shows what average people can do when they join together as a team to practice kindness, charity, love, and neighborliness. The people have formed clubs throughout the nation to practice goodness.
