File this one under things I did not know, but am now privy to, thanks to Netflix:

2002: Mr. Deeds

1936: Mr. Deeds Goes to Town

That’s right.  Mr. Deeds was a remake of a classic.  A Frank Capra classic of all things.  Mr. Frank “It’s a Wonderful Life” Capra.

I was almost as shocked as when I learned that Bob Barker is an accomplished martial artist, holding belts in multiple disciplines including a black in karate, and could have laid even more of a beating on Happy Gilmore.
