Search Classic Movies A Tribute To Frank Capra Very few directors have had words coined from their names to describe their style. "Hitchcockian" comes to mind. And, of course, "Capra-esque." Frank Capra's was a style and an approach to filmmaking that no others have consistently been able to emulate. Many of his stories, in other hands, would have been slapstick or maudlin or both. Attempts have certainly been made, about which the less said, the better. Born in Italy on May 18, 1897, he came to America at the age of six, in steerage, the son of a fruit picker. After graduating from college with an engineering degree and serving in the military, he began his Hollywood career as a gag writer for Hal Roach and Mack Sennett, then became a writer and director for comedian Harry Langdon. Eventually he landed at Columbia Studios, and there began the work that would eventually land him among the greatest directors of all time. Films such as "The Younger Generation" (1929), "The Miracle Woman" (1931), "The Bitter Tea of General Yen" (1932), and "Lady for a Day" (1933) put him on top. "It Happened One Night" (1934) became the first film to win all five major Oscars. He won two more Best Director Oscars, for "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (1936) and "You Can't Take It With You" (1938), which also won Best Picture. His success was in part due to a colaboration with screenwriter Robert Riskin, who helped develop the characteristic stories of the little man who fights the establishment.

19. Bright Lights Film Journal | Frank Capra Review This documentary about frank capra attempts to replace the simplistic image of capra as a sort of undiscriminating, sentimental populist with a more complex reality. http://www.brightlightsfilm.com/23/capra.html

This beloved film artist was driven as much by self-doubt as by his belief in the power of the "little man" BY GARY MORRIS The rise of Frank Capra from sickly, abused, impoverished Sicilian immigrant to what one of his sons calls "a shaper of how we view America" is the subject of Kenneth Bowser’s This biography, produced by Tom and Frank Capra, Jr., attempts to replace the simplistic image of Capra as a sort of undiscriminating, sentimental populist with a more complex reality. What emerges from these interviews and film clips is an illuminating, if mostly uncritical, portrait of a tragically conflicted personality whose work, more than that of many directors, is barely veiled autobiography. The Capra seen here joins his fictional counterparts — Mr. Deeds, Mr. Smith, and John Doe — as an Everyman whose sudden wealth and fame, those driving myths of the "American Dream" that was Capra’s eternal subject, nearly destroy him. Capra never quite believed in his own accomplishments, and in his Catholic way seemed to suffer most when he was most praised. After a record critical and commercial success with It Happened One Night and Broadway Bill Why We Fight (1946). This grim portrait of small-town America enslaved by its capitalist masters is as black as any film noir, and redemption is no longer possible through the initiative of a single principled individual, as it had been in the earlier films. Only supernatural intervention — in this case, an angel — could save Capra's fantasy of smalltown America and his beloved "little man" George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) from killing himself.
