Even when he is playing a Hungarian clerk in Hungary (”The Shop Around the Corner” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033045/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 ), Jimmy Stewart comes across as All-American (as does John Wayne as Genghis Khan in “The Conqueror”).
That is a great movie, it’s been a while since I’ve seen it. I’ll have to look for it, maybe it’s streaming somewhere.🙂
We started watching the colorized version of It’s a Wonderful Life today. Have to finish it tomorrow.
