Meet John Doe
A desperate newspaper stunt spirals into a nationwide movement when a drifter agrees to pose as the fictional “John Doe,” a symbol of the common man. Gary Cooper stars as the reluctant hero, while Barbara Stanwyck shines as the reporter behind the scheme. With Edward Arnold as a scheming tycoon and Walter Brennan as the voice of conscience, Frank Capra’s Meet John Doe is a timely and heartfelt story about hope, cynicism, and the power of ordinary people.
