... by European researchers in the early 20th century. Soon after Dr. Plasss seminal paper, FrankCapra was producing Al Gore-style movies replete with rising sea-levels and melting glaciers. Whats more, the early consensus pointed squarely at mans activities as the culpritor at least as squarely as scientists do today: [T]he amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is being artificially...
Oliver Stone has described his upcoming film W, about the life of US president George Bush, as a Capra-esque tale.Having courted controversy with his ...
... David Wu, Oregon Democrat, compared Republicans to the skinflint banker Mr. Potter character in FrankCapra's 1946 film "It's a Wonderful Life," who coldly advocated evicting poor families with children because they were not his children."What I'm hearing from the other side is, 'They are not my children. They are irresponsible. Throw them out,' " Mr. Wu told the chamber.Rep. Judy...
Writers of romantic comedies enjoy having their characters hate each other before they fall in love. If it was good enough for Shakespeare and FrankCapra, it should be good enough for anyone, right?
There's nothing wrong with trying to revive the ghost of FrankCapra. I hope this works, and the trailer is funny and sentimental enough to suggest that it might. Kevin Costner, dopey uninformed EveryAmerican ignoramous whose vote decides the future...
... World War II: Victory Day 2007 Victory Day 2006 Victory Day 2005 Did Uncle Joe Win the War? Watch FrankCapra's wartime documentary Why We Fight: The Battle for Russia A Russia Today TV video about VE-Day celebrations in Krasnodar Krai in southern Russia
... I called them filmmakers, distinguishing them from the story-tellers I love (Kazan, Billy Wilder , FrankCapra and Stephen Spielberg to name a few). What these latter understood, I said, was that movies showed us all that is good in the world. I thought that line, about movies and showing us all that is good in the world, simple as it was, trite almost, really got at my love for the...
It's not exactly the same as watching a film on the silver screen. But you get what you pay for. Below, we have FrankCapra’s 1939 classic, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, starring Jimmy Stewart and Claude Rains. For those who cling to the hope that democracies can rid themselves of corruption and special [...]
Grendel sent in this interesting film strip by the famous war-time propagandist FrankCapra. The film was shown to American soldiers assigned to the occupying force in Germany after the second world war. The opening statement of the film is apropos of the situation in Iraq: “By your conduct and attitude while on guard inside Germany you [...]
... Sony lot, it's Columbia Pictures, dammit!, the dream factory Harry Cohn — with a lot of help from FrankCapra — built. Walking past the sound stages (which I always take time to do), I don't picture Spider-man shooting there, I picture Cohn and director Fred Zinneman walking along, heads close, complaining about Ava Gardner breaking their balls to cast has-been Sinatra as Maggio in...
... Press, Investigative Reporting and Revisionist History by Michael A. Hoffman II | April 25, 2008 FrankCapra did a movie series in the 1940s called "Why We Fight." It's dated now and his cornball "Capracorn" is no longer as compelling as it once was in the eyes of our parents' generation. Still, there are these days many books, movies and radio and TV talk shows urging us to...
I just watched a 1948 FrankCapra film called State of the Union, starring Spencer Tracy as a dark-horse presidential candidate, Katharine Hepburn as his wife, and Angela Lansbury as a power-mad newspaper publisher who is determined to make Tracy--with...
... a movie about politicians, here are a few things to remember: 1. Politicians Love Talking. If FrankCapra’s brilliant Mr. Smith Goes to Washington teaches us anything, it's that every major problem can be solved forever by talking for a long period of time. Classic everyman Jimmy Stewart provides a heart and soul for Jefferson Smith, and we get to laugh at his naive blunders in politicking...
I'd see Barbara Stanwyck in anything. She's always been one of my favorite stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, someone who usually transcended the trashy material she often found herself in. That was certainly true of the Cinematheque's Saturday night showing of a restored print of Forbidden , an absurd but very watchable 1932 romantic melodrama directed by FrankCapra and costarring...
