Frank Capra Collection, The Movie
Four classic films by director, Frank Capra. It's A Wonderful Life - A triple Oscar-nominated comedy drama starring James Stewart as George Bailey, a pillar of his community, who is prevented from committing suicide by a merciful angel. Through a series of heart rending dream sequences, George is shown what a sad and sorrowful place the town would have become without him. Can the angel lift George out of his despair? Mr Smith Goes To Washington - An idealistic, small-town senator goes to the corridors of power in Washington, finding his honesty and commitment in danger of sinking beneath rampant corruption. Nominated for 11 Oscars, but winning only one (it was up against Gone With The Wind), Capra's stirring masterpiece was in itself a triumph over the odds, many wanting it suppressed because of its controversial message. You Can't Take It With You - Winning Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture, this is Capra's version of Kaufman and Hart's witty play about an eccentric New York household where love tangles get in the way of an attempted dispossession. It Happened One Night - When their bus breaks down in the middle of nowhere, heiress Ellie Andrews and reporter Peter Warner are forced to hitch-hike together. However their constant bickering threatens to explode into a full-scale battle of the sexes. Winner of five Academy Awards, this is one of Capra's most delightful screwball comedies - which caused a slump in American vest sales when Gable undressed to reveal a bare chest!
