What is Jimmy Stewart : a wonderful life about?

<p><strong><strong>“I sensed [in Jimmy] the character and rock-ribbed honesty of a Gary Cooper, plus the breeding and intelligence of an Ivy League idealist.”—Frank Capra</strong></strong></p> <p>Over a career that spanned forty-three years and seventy-seven films, Jimmy Stewart went from leading man to national idol. Classics such as <em>Mr.<br> Smith Goes to Washington</em>, <em>The Philadelphia Story</em>, <em>Harvey</em>, and,<br> of course, <em>It’s A Wonderful Life</em> are far more than mere movies; they are visions of America as it wanted to be seen.<br> With his inimitable (though widely mimicked) down-home drawl, Jimmy Stewart came to embody the ideal American male, lean, affably sarcastic, honorable,<br> endearingly awkward. His double takes were memorable; his way of muttering his asides charmed audiences. Most of all, he was the man whose heart was always in the right place, and who would see always see his way clear to doing the right thing. “If Bess and I had a son,” Harry Truman once said, “we’d want him to be just like Jimmy Stewart.”</p> <p>Jonathon Coe traces Stewart’s beginnings in a small town in Pennsylvania, his amateur dramatics and college years at Princeto
