The "narrative" even your own Peggy Noonan says is doomed to failure. Noonan: "It's over."
She's the Capraesque Mrs. Smith goes to Washington?
Bwahahaha!
That was Hollywood fantasy.
See how well that played:
When it was first released (the film premiered in Washington, D.C., on October 17, 1939), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington was attacked by the Washington press, and politicians in the U.S. Congress, as anti-American and pro-Communist for its portrayal of corruption in the American government.[3] However, neither the Republican nor Democratic party is mentioned in the film.
The film was banned in Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Soviet Russia and Falangist Spain. According to Capra, the film was also dubbed in certain European countries to alter the message of the film so it conformed with official ideology.
When a ban on American films was imposed in German-occupied France in 1942, some theaters chose to show Mr. Smith Goes to Washington as the last movie before the ban went into effect. One theater owner in Paris reportedly screened the film nonstop for 30 days after the ban was announced.[4]
