1. Jean Arthur!

Popular culture hasn't given Jean Arthur her due, for all that the golden era of Hollywood is unimaginable without her.

Still politically relevant, decades on: her turn in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

2. Yup! That's the way it works... Or doesn't.

I love You can't take it with you as well.

It is one looney movie, a Capra classic. Let's hear it for Polly Wally Doodle.
