Synopsis:
In 1940, Colonel Will Seaborn Effingham (Charles Coburn), a retired Army officer, returns to his home town of Fredericksville, Georgia, and is disturbed at the lack of civic pride. He writes a letter to the editor in the local newspaper and attacks those who would do away with with traditions, especially those moving to tear down the old city hall and those who wish to rename Confederate Square after a local politician.

Reviews:
This is a delightful movie. Its like a Frank Capra move - about idealism and being a good citizen. It reminds me of the move, "Mr Smith Goes to Washington." It concerns a man who fights City Hall for the right reasons. Interesting that it is set in the pre-war time period, when the country was gearing up for war.

The main character, Col. Effingham keeps making war references - great sense of hum. Wonderful dialogue. An excellent supporting cast. It is surprising the movie is not shown more often. A young Joan Bennett does very well. She is the subject of a running joke regarding her attractive legs.
