Description

Walter Huston stars as an idealistic bank president who has been making loans to depositors without sufficient collateral. When there's a run on his bank, his loyal staff rallies local small businessmen to make more deposits which moves the directors to keep the bank afloat. Released shortly after FDR's New Deal, this film whole-heartedly espoused Roosevelt's ideals.

    A great Frank Capra film. Here’s is where the USA was in the last months of Pres. Herbert Hoover #31. Skillfully written, well acted, “ripped from the headlines” plot, and a passionate Boss.

    Fantastic film that explores the relationship between people, profits, and ethics.
