Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Having picked up the Oscar for Best Director three times , Frank Capra and his movies left an undeniable impact on the Golden Age of Hollywood. The Italian-American auteur has had a cinematic life story of his own. With Capra’s family immigrating to the United States with hardly any resources, Capra ended up helming his first movie Fultah Fisher’s Boarding House when he was just 25.
8 Meet John Doe When it comes to classic movies about the newspaper industry, 1941’s Citizen Kane reigns supreme for its commentary on yellow journalism. But in that very same year, Frank Capra directed a less ambitious but nonetheless passionate satire on the state of news in his era. Meet John Doe found Barbara Stanwyck playing a journalist who after being fired, ends up writing one final piece that turns out to be a fake news article.
5 You Can't Take It With You This 1938 classic proves how Frank Capra mastered the art of romantic comedies. The ensemble cast gets to indulge in some screwball antics as James Stewart’s uber-rich hero attempts to woo Jean Arthur’s poorer heroine share an interestingly tumultuous romance. You Can’t Take It With You was Capra’s way of not only addressing the economic differences between his leads but also their families.
