1982: Frank Capra 10th AFI Life Achievement Award FRANK CAPRA: LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD 1982 TRIBUTE ADDRESS The Trustees of the American Film Institute have voted the tenth Life Achievement Award to Frank Capra. Arriving in the United States as a child in 1903, the year of the first airplane flight and the birth of the American film industry, Capra was part of the generation of immigrants which embrace the infant film medium as its popular art form. The energy and sense of purpose in his work derive from this communal source; in the words of Graham Greene, Capra brought to his films "a kinship with his audience, a sense of common life, a morality." When World War II threatened the existence of the American democratic ideal, Capra interrupted his Hollywood career to make a series of government films educating the public about the nature of the conflict. Of the Why we Fight series, Winston Churchill said, "I have never seen or read any more powerful statement of our cause or of our rightful case against the Nazi tyranny." Capra returned from service to make one of his most memorable films

A Vision of Good People in a Great Country It Happened One Night - 1934 View Full-Size Columbia Pictures Delightful screwball comedy with Claudette Colbert as a runaway heiress and Clark Gable as the down-on-his-luck reporter who latches on to her in hopes of a front-page story. She hates him on sight, and the two are forced into a madcap cross-country trip. Hmm. Think those two crazy kids will get together? Infamous as the movie where Colbert showed a little leg while hitchhiking, and Gable scandalously took off his shirt on screen. Yowzah!

The world's treasures of culture, art and learning are stored in the remote and improbable valley against the day when the outside world descends into Armageddon. With lush sets and a lavish budget, Lost Horizon is a bit plodding and talky. Paradise never seems to be all it's cracked up to be.

I believed in one man, one film. . . . I just couldn't accept art as a committee. I could only accept art as an extension of an individual." Few Hollywood directors had a higher profile in the 1930s than Frank Capra (1897Ð1991). He served as president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and of the Screen Directors Guild. He won three Academy Awards as best director and was widely acclaimed as the man most responsible for making Columbia Pictures a success. This popularity was established and sustained by films that spoke to and for the times It Happened One Night Mr. Deeds Goes to Town Meet John Doe , and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington . These replicated the nation's hopes and dreams for a national community. He worked with some of the brightest stars in HollywoodJames Stewart, Clark Gable, Jean Arthur, Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, Claudette Colbert, Bette Davis, Donna Reed, and Ann-Margret. Capra's interviews express his connection to the national audience and explore his own story. He was a Sicilian immigrant boy who survived rough-and-tumble beginnings to become Hollywood's most bankable director. In reflecting on his life, almost every one of his films was a parable of acclaim verging on disaster. He spent much of the 1940s in uniform while making films for the War Department. Although Capra was an optimist, World War II and his series of

Google Bookmarks Georgia (default) Verdana Times New Roman Arial document.getElementById('fontpopup').onmouseout = sfgate_chfont_mo; Frank Capra Jr., who never wanted to go into his father's business but found in the end he could not resist its pull, died on Wednesday in Philadelphia. He was 73 and lived in Wilmington, N.C. The cause was prostate cancer, said Bill Vassar, the executive vice president of EUE/Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, of which Mr. Capra was president. A film and television producer, Mr. Capra was a son of the noted Hollywood director Frank Capra, whose best-known film, "It's a Wonderful Life," was released in 1946. In the last two decades the younger Capra was known for helping make North Carolina into an important center for film, television and commercial production. In the mid-1980s, he helped found EUE/Screen Gems there, becoming its president in 1997. Mr. Capra first came to the Wilmington area in 1983, when he was producing "Firestarter" (1984), an adaptation of the Stephen King novel. He needed an antebellum mansion to burn down, and found one nearby in Winnabow, N.C. The owners, not surprisingly, demurred, so Mr. Capra built a replica on their property and burned that down instead. He was taken with the area and later persuaded Dino De Laurentiis, who had financed the film, to build a studio there.

76. The Religion Of Director Frank Capra The religious affiliation (religion) of frank capra, director of It s a Wonderful Life and other classic films. http://www.adherents.com/people/pc/Frank_Capra.html

Adherents.com's Guide to Movies Famous Catholics Famous Christian Scientists The Religious Affiliation of Director Frank Capra From: William Park. "The Fifty Best Catholic Movies of All Time", Crisis 15, no. 10 (March 1997): 82-91 (URL: http://www.catholic.net/rcc/Periodicals/Crisis/1997-11/f8.html). It is interesting to note that the three best directors who ever worked in Hollywood, Frank Capra, John Ford, and Alfred Hitchcock, were all practicing Catholics. So much for the detrimental effects in these times of the Church upon art. From: Axel Madsen. Stanwyck , HarperCollins: New York, NY (1994), page 52: The director who, with King Vidor, personified American optimism, the virtues of common people, and sophisticated comedy was a man who proved you could be creative and successful in Holywood without going crazy. At thirty-three Frank Capra was a recently divorced charmer who was converting from Catholicism to Christian Science to please his fiancee, Lucille Warner Reyburn. From: Richard A. Blake, S.J. (a Jesuit), "Finding God at the Movies ... And why Catholic churches produce Catholic Filmmakers", website: Woodstock Theological Center (http://www.georgetown.edu/centers/woodstock/report/r-fea79a.htm): To an astounding extent that I had never suspected until I started to look into the matter, the movies are really a Catholic medium... Catholics have been... over-represented in the creative side. Think of some of the key filmmakers that even casual film audiences know by name: Hitchcock, John Ford, Frank Capra, Scorsese and Coppola, Leo McCarey, Robert Altman, Michael Cimino, and the master of teen-age horror films Roger Corman.

Frank CAPRA "meilleur réalisateur" "Grande dame d'un jour", "Vous ne l'emporterez pas avec vous", L'extravagant Mr Deeds", " New-York/Miami " " Il réitére cet exploit en 1938 avec " Vous ne l'emporterz pas avec vous" (4 Oscars). Paradoxalement, son chef-d'oeuvre "La vie est belle" " La vie est belle ". Ses films sont aujourd'hui considérés comme un exemple des "Valeurs Américaines". On parle de la "Touch CAPRA". Beaucoup de réalisateurs comme par exemple Coppola, les frères Cohen...se sont inspirés de ses films et les écoles de cinéma parlent de lui comme une référence. Frank CAPRA aura laissé derrière lui une empreinte en plus de trente films en donnant au public un pur bonheur, ce qui est, tout compte fait, le but principal du cinéma. CAPRA a été le grand représentant de la période appelée "L'âge d'Or Américain". Ces années où l'on savait encore produire d'excellentes histoires avec des comédiens exceptionnels tels que Cary Grant, James Stewart... Les films de CAPRA sont enchanteurs, émouvants, captivants, bref formidables. Ils ont le mérite de faire rêver les gens pendant 90 minutes. A l'heure actuelle où le cinéma américain réalise des films à gros budgets et à effets spéciaux, Frank CAPRA donne encore une belle leçon à ces réalisateurs par sa filmographie faîte de chefs-d'oeuvre. Car s'il fallait conclure sur une note optimiste sur CAPRA, je dirais que tout l'argent nécessaire aux films actuels, tous les effets spéciaux ne pourront jamais remplacer des films faits avec son coeur et ses sentiments.

In 1932's American Madness , Walter Huston embodies that idealism as a populist bank president whose faith in the common man puts him at odds with fat-cat bankers eager to push through a lucrative merger. When Huston's bank is robbed, rumors spread of its imminent demise, and Huston is forced to take drastic action to save his business. Though American Madness lacks the elegance and emotional heft of the other films in this anthology, it
