Mr. Deeds
Don't let the fancy clothes fool you.
Directed by Steven Brill
Produced by Columbia Pictures, New Line Cinema
A lighthearted romantic comedy about a kind-hearted small-town man navigating wealth and deception in the big city, built on charm and the triumph of genuine kindness over cynicism.
When Longfellow Deeds, a small-town pizzeria owner and poet, inherits $40 billion from his deceased uncle, he quickly begins rolling in a different kind of dough. Moving to the big city, Deeds finds himself besieged by opportunists all gunning for their piece of the pie. Babe, a television tabloid reporter, poses as an innocent small-town girl to do an exposé on Deeds.
