What Meet John Doe Is About
A journalist facing dismissal invents a letter to attract attention, and when the paper has to make the imaginary man real it hires someone off the street. Frank Capra opens in the manner of a populist fable and grows uncomfortable inside his own form as it proceeds, showing how easily whatever moves a crowd can be steered. Gary Cooper's character is not a hero but an unemployed former ballplayer, and the most unsettling thing here is watching him start to believe the part. The ending has been argued over for decades, and several versions were tried.
