Good Sam

천성적으로 인정이 넘치는 샘은 도움을 청하는 사람들을 그냥 지나치지 못한다. 그는 자신은 물론 가족의 재산까지도 기꺼이 내놓는다. 그러다 보니 샘이 저지른 일의 뒤치다꺼리는 모두 자연스럽게 아내 루의 몫이 되고 만다. 그러던 어느 날, 이사를 앞두고 계약금을 지불하려던 루는 샘이 자신 모르게 전 재산을 남에게 빌려 주었다는 사실을 알게 되고, 샘 가족은 파산 위기에 처하게 된다. 샘이 베푼 온정은 과연 다시 샘에게 돌아올 것인가. (2018년 영화의 전당 - [시네마테크] 레오 맥커리 특별전)

흥미로운 사실

Good Sam is a 1948 American romantic comedy-drama film starring Gary Cooper as a Good Samaritan who is helpful to others at the expense of his own family. The film was directed by Leo McCarey and produced by McCarey's production company, Rainbow Productions. It received mixed reviews, with critics alternately liking and disliking the film based on whether they viewed it as a serious story or a spoof. The film was one of the top box-office draws of 1948, grossing $2.95 million.

Production

Good Sam was written by Ken Englund based on a story by Leo McCarey and John D. Klorer. Sinclair Lewis was asked to work on the script but refused, stating: "[A] man who tried to lead in our times the life of an apostle would be an idiot and would be considered by others to be one".

McCarey's production company, Rainbow Productions, borrowed Ann Sheridan from Warner Bros., to play the wife of Gary Cooper's character. According to the American Film Institute, Cooper's career was "floundering" at the time, and while he was filming Good Sam he signed a "significant contract" with Warner Bros.

For the scene in which a Salvation Army marching band accompanies Cooper's drunken character home, director McCarey assembled a 25-piece band composed of students from several high schools in the Los Angeles area.

The film was shot in Los Angeles from August 4 to October 1947. In January 1948, McCarey reportedly filmed additional scenes to provide alternative endings for the film. Preview audiences were then asked to state which of the two endings they preferred. The unused ending is not known.

Interior scenes of the church were modeled after the interior of the city's St. James Episcopal Church. The Rev. J. Herbert Smith, pastor of All Saints' Episcopal Church of Beverly Hills, was a technical advisor.
