...with another Jean Arthur film, The Talk of the Town, which is not only watchable but as timely as ever. TCM includes it in its roster of films.

I have seen only her big hits, but she never disappoints.

My faves:

You Can't Take it With You
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

Sadly, I have never seen "Shane"
