Mr. Deeds goes to Town (1936

Grade: B+

Premise:  Mr. Deeds, a small town tuba player and greeting card poet, inherits 20 million smackers from a long lost uncle and moves to New York to begin his life as a major player.  Everyone wants a piece of him until it all goes haywire and he gives his money away.  He falls in love in the meantime.   Gary Cooper is wonderful in this Frank Capra classic!
