Frank Capra's whip-smart satire takes aim at how the media uses and abuses human misery. When reporter Ann Mitchell (Barbara Stanwyck) fabricates a suicide note written by a fictional long-suffering "John Doe," it creates a frenzy of public sympathy and outrage that prompts Ann to hire a real-life sad sack (Gary Cooper) to impersonate her creation. The fallout of their put-on reaches heights of national deception that neither Ann nor her "John Doe" are ready for.
