Rating:  - terrible
Meet John DoeThe transfer is so bad ,that despite the fact that this is a great movie ,the poor quality both visually and audibly pulls your attention away from the story.I originally bought this because of the price. I am now going to spend more money to get a good copy of the film. From now on I am going to read the bad reviews before purchasing anything at Amazon.

As a last ditch effort to blow off some steam before she is fired, reporter Ann Mitchell (Barbara Stanwyck) fabricates a letter written by a disgruntled citizen who threatens to jump off the top of a building. John Doe's letter causes quite a stir, and Ann's newspaper sees it as an opportunity to sell papers. They hire her back to personally oversee the choosing of a John Doe and to build up as much publicity for the paper as possible. She picks John Willoughby (Gary Cooper), a mild mannered bum whose original ... Read More
