Christmas Film Screening: Meet John Doe

Silver screen legend Gary Cooper will feature in the lead role of the famous 1941 film. The film screening at the onyx partition in the main living room of Villa Tugendhat will be preceded by a Christmas cocktail, which you can enjoy on the technical floor.

Christmas Film Screening: Meet John Doe

The romantic comedy Meet John Doe was directed by legendary director Frank Capra. The plot takes the viewer to the editorial office of the newspaper “The Bulletin”, which is left by journalist Ann Mitchell (Barbara Starwyck) as part of a restructuring. Ann therefore writes a fictional letter to a man who is unemployed, criticises social conditions and threatens suicide. Ann gives this fictional man the name John Doe. The letter resonates so strongly with readers that Ann gets her job back, but is faced with a new problem, because of course there is no John Doe. It is at this point that homeless John Willoughby (Gary Cooper) enters the scene.
