So I'm really getting into the classics

15. Throw yourself a Jean Arthur film festival.

Two political films, just for starters:

The Talk of the Town, with Ronald Colman as a SCOTUS nominee, Cary Grant as a fugitive, and Jean Arthur as the small town schoolteacher/housekeeper who knows too much about both of them.

Frank Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, in which a jaded Jean Arthur meets up with Capitol Hill newcomer Jimmy Stewart.

You Can't Take It with You, another Frank Capra classic, this time with Arthur as a woman with a free-spirited family and a rich boyfriend (Stewart again).

Then it's back to Washington for The More the Merrier, in which Jean Arthur survives the housing shortage in wartime D.C. with two housemates, Charles Coburn and Joel McCrea.
