The Best of Jimmy Stewart

[Mrdamron]

A true American Icon, a war hero and one of Hollywood's greatest leading men, Jimmy Stewart had that unforgettable drawl, the tall slender boyish charm, and a down to earth everyman quality that resonated with audiences for decades. He appeared in all time classics of various genres and was a favorite of legendary directors like Hitchcock, Capra and Mann. And seeing that this is the Christmas season, let's celebrate his wonderful life and filmography by picking his best work.
