In this poignant drama, a down-and-out man (Gary Cooper) is coerced into posing as a fictitious "John Doe" planning to commit suicide on Christmas Eve to protest societal ills. As his story captures the nation's heart, he becomes a symbol of hope and reform. Directed by Frank Capra (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, It Happened One Night) and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, the film explores themes of integrity, media manipulation, and the power of the people working together.
