Entertainment Reviews:
It's a stronger and far less dated film than his overpraised It's a Wonderful Life.

It's pure Capra, run through with the tension between idealism and corruption...

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Journalistic ethics are only a small aspect of the film, but the implications are long-ranging.

Rating: 1/5 --
Além de trazer aquela que é provavelmente a pior cena dirigida por Capra em sua carreira (o monólogo de Regis Toomey na prefeitura), o filme é um água com açúcar repleto de diálogos patriotas/cristãos patéticos, artificiais e piegas.
Cinema em Cena
Capra's films work because he believed with his whole heart in his cornball agendas.

Combustible Celluloid
A smooth. Capracareful film replete with social preachment and a magnificent portrayal by Gary Cooper.

Description by OLDIES.com:
A female newspaper reporter writes a final column, a phony story of a man who plans to jump off of City Hall on Christmas Eve, as a protest of the mistreatment of the common people in society. When the article is a hit, the reporter must come up with someone to impersonate the man she fabricated, so she recruits a down on his luck former ballplayer to take on the identity. When the newspaper publisher, with aspirations towards a Presidential bid, plots to use the man for his political gain, the reporter and the ballplayer are forced to make a decision about keeping up the ruse. Reporter Ann Mitchell prints a fake letter from a man who threatens suicide to protest social ills. The letter startsets a social movement, and she hires out-of-work actor John Willoughby to take on the role of "John Doe".
