Meet John Doe DVD Movie
Meet John Doe Description: "Portraying a struggling journalist, Barbara Stanwyck, is fired by a newly hired managing editor, James Gleason. She retaliates by writing a fictional piece about an idealist named John Doe and through him she rants about the injustices of big business and corrupt politicians taking over the common working man. Doe protests through Stanwyck's fabricated letter, that he will jump off the top of City Hall on Christmas Eve. There is so much publicity surrounding the story that Stanwyck must confess to Gleason that Doe doesn't exist, but she comes up with a solution: find a phony hero from one of the city's unemployed so she can continue to write the story, keep her job and sell more papers. A homeless man and an ex-baseball pitcher short on cash, John Willoughby, played by Gary Cooper, impersonates John Doe, resulting in a political movement for the working class. Financed independently without a studio, MEET JOHN DOE embodies Capra's democratic principles with sentimentality and optimism."
