Document Summary
Mr. smith goes to washington: musical score by dimitri tiomkin, directed by frank capra, tiomkin added little underscoring, screwball comedies films that have lunatic characters who create chaos and mayhem in sane society, usually employ music only for credits, source music, montages and perhaps an occasional musical joke, mr. smith goes to washington is also a populist film, heroes of populist films are ordinary people pitted against the rich, politicians, or both. It is generally felt to be inappropriate to underscore scenes set in formal government buildings: underscoring only heard once in scenes in the senate, near the end of mr. smith"s filibuster, tiomkin"s underscoring contains little original music and is primarily based on well known patriotic or american folk melodies, my darling clementine , i dream of jeannie with the light brown hair , the red river valley .
