Storyline

As a parting shot, fired reporter Ann Mitchell prints a fake letter from unemployed "John Doe," who threatens suicide in protest of social ills. The paper is forced to rehire Ann and hires John Willoughby to impersonate "Doe." Ann and her bosses cynically milk the story for all it's worth, until the made-up "John Doe" philosophy starts a whole political movement.

Cooper and Stanwyck are entirely watchable, even if the plot grows artistically flagrant and thematically hollow, culminating in a final media ruse that is thoroughly farfetched.

Frank Capra was fond of speeches - and Meet John Doe is stuffed with them.

RTDeep Focus ReviewFeb 14, 2022

Meet John Doe is perhaps Capra's most self-reflective film.

RTCalifornia EagleOct 31, 2019

A smooth. Capracareful film replete with social preachment and a magnificent portrayal by Gary Cooper.
