Magic Town (1947)

Rip Smith (James Stewart) is a statistician in New York that is looking for a magic town that will represent all of the opinions of the United States.  He wants to do this so that he can take on more surveys and earn more money.  Coincidentally he stumble upon Grandview that is statistically of the opinion of the entire US.  Upon setting up his ploy in this town he comes across the local know-it-all citizen Mary Peterman (Jane Wyman).  Soon the romantic frustration begins, but not long after that Rip begins to fit into the town, even becoming the boys basketball coach.  Well, his cover gets blown, and now everyone in America wants to come and live in Grandview.  To make the story short, this becomes a bad experience, but in the end it all works out and everyone lives happily ever after...I am not sure if you can tell that I lost interest in this movie about half way through.  The first half of this show was promising and entertaining, but then it becomes too predictable.  It is an OK watch but only worth about 2 stars.  I cannot find a trailer, but you can watch the whole show on youtube.com
