Meet John Doe
Movie • 1941 • Comedy
ReportSynopsis
As a parting shot, fired reporter Ann Mitchell prints a fake letter from unemployed "John Doe," who threatens suicide in protest of social ills. The paper is forced to rehire Ann and hires John Willoughby to impersonate "Doe." Ann and her bosses cynically milk the story for all it's worth, until the made-up "John Doe" philosophy starts a whole political movement.

No, but a character at length describes a dream in which he beats a woman as if it is charming.

Does someone say "I'll kill myself"?

The premise is about a fake letter in which someone states their intention to kill themselves and a man is hired to pretend to be this suicidal person. At the end he intends to go through with it and a woman says if he has to die that she wants to die too.

No but the premise is based on someone saying they intend to throw themselves off a building and there are several jokes about people falling past or out of windows.
