'Mr. Deeds Goes To Town'

I don't know how good of a film Mr. Deeds Goes To Town really is. It has very good actors and is a very good story.

But doesn't a film like this actually gain value considering the basis for the story and the current climate of the country at the time?

Just seven years before its release, the United States saw the rug be pulled out from underneath it as the stock market crashed and saw millions lose a job, their savings or both. What hit the upper class swooped to kill the little man.

Mr. Deeds is everyman, especially the man living in the small town trying to make his way as the rich stock brokers are jumping off roofs in New York City and Chicago.

I would imagine, this film would have meant a lot for moviegoers who all were probably affected by the awful Depression. Maybe more than cinematography, acting, writing or direction, that means something.
