Popular Culture
The bucolic Vermont town of Mandrake Falls, home of Longfellow Deeds, is now considered an archetype of small town America with Kelland creating a type of "cracker-barrel" view of rural values contrasted with that of sophisticated "city folk". The word "pixilated,"' previously limited to New England (and attested there since 1848), "had a nationwide vogue in 1936" thanks to its prominent use in the film; although its use in the screenplay may not be an accurate interpretation.
The lyrics to the 1977 Rush song "Cinderella Man" on the A Farewell to Kings album are based on the story of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.
