Jimmy Stewart didn't receive an Oscar nomination for this timeless historical drama, but its themes are more relevant than ever.
There’s no Old Hollywood movie star that epitomized human goodness more so than Jimmy Stewart. Whether he’s playing a sensitive cowboy in Destry Rides Again, an earnest politician in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, a town’s most generous working man in It’s A Wonderful Life, or the protagonist in various Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, Stewart has a fresh-faced naturalism and inherent empathetic quality that makes him instantly likable in any of his most iconic roles.
Freya worries about the future of other non-Aryans, free thought leaders, and pacifists as Germany evolves, but she’s also a young woman whose hand in marriage is sought by several young bachelors. She receives simultaneous romantic invitations from two men who couldn’t be any more different; Martin is a well-educated bookworm and star pupil of her father’s, as well as the young radical Fritz Marberg , who wholeheartedly supports Hitler’s platform, vie for her affection.
Stewart deserved award-season attention for showing what bravery looked like during a time when his performance needed to be seen. Martin doesn’t just stand up in public to call out the growing radicalization of his peers; he risks missing his family’s attempt to seek shelter in Austria by helping the Roth family in their escape.
