Entertainment Reviews:
It's pure Capra, run through with the tension between idealism and corruption...

Parallax View
Capra's films work because he believed with his whole heart in his cornball agendas.

Combustible Celluloid
Like Stewart's Mr. Smith, Gary Cooper's acting choices, while more subtle than Stewart, deeply connect you with his character's plight and therefore solidly hook you into hopes for his happy ending, his redemption.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Journalistic ethics are only a small aspect of the film, but the implications are long-ranging.

Rating: 1/5 --
Além de trazer aquela que é provavelmente a pior cena dirigida por Capra em sua carreira (o monólogo de Regis Toomey na prefeitura), o filme é um água com açúcar repleto de diálogos patriotas/cristãos patéticos, artificiais e piegas.

...the political and social ramifications are just as topical today as they were seventy years ago.

Movie Metropolis
Rating: B+ --
Capra's political parable is problematic parables, from his contradictory approach to the "little people" to the right-wing elements to the compromised ending, in which Cooper is stopped from committing suicide.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Meet John Doe -- Digitally Remastered. A fired reporter's white lie spirals out of control when a fake suicide letter from a fictitious "John Doe" turns into a rousing political movement. Helmed by master filmmaker Frank Capra and starring screen legends Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck, Meet John Doe centers on fired reporter Ann Mitchell (Stanwyck), who pens and prints a fake letter from an unemployed John Doe in protest of all that is wrong with society. When the letter garners major attention and begins to incite a grassroots political movement, Anne is forced to hire John Willoughby, a homeless ex-baseball player, to pose as the anonymous writer. As the letter's philosophy begins to spread across the country and their lie becomes more and more complicated, an unlikely romance between Ann and John blossoms. Upon its release in 1941, the film was met with praise from critics and audiences alike and received an Academy Award nomination for the screenplay by Richard Connell and Robert Presnell Sr. Meet John Doe still stands as a major success in Capra, Cooper, and Stanwyck's astounding careers.
