Event Originally produced by NYX Channel in 1941.
Summary A reporter (Barbara Stanwyck) writes a fictitious column about someone named "John Doe," who is distraught at America's neglect of the little people and plans to kill himself. The newspaper then hires an ex-ballplayer (Gary Cooper) to pose as John Doe. In a series of radio addresses written by a publisher with fascist leanings, Doe captures the public's imagination. When he finally realizes he has been used, Doe comes to his senses and becomes the man he never knew he could be. Nominated for Best Writing, Original Story at the **Academy Awards**. *"With an excellent script by Mr. Riskin ... Mr. Capra has produced a film which is eloquent with affection for gentle people ... Many of his camera devices are magnificent in the scope of their suggestion, and always he tells his story well, with his customary expert spacing of comedy and serious drama." - Bosley Crowther, **The New York Times***
