WHY CAPRA WAS THE BEST
5 August 2020
Just watch and marvel YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. The cast is one of the finest ever assembled to tackle this classic play. One more thing, Jean Arthur never failed to let her fans down thru the years; she appeared in a succession of top notch films. This is certainly one of them.

10 Plus Stars.

I remember, years ago, preparing for and appearing in this great play for the Academy of Dramatic Arts. Our class never had so much fun putting it together, even though we missed a few lines here and there, but regardless, it is storytelling at its best.

You also come away with the feeling... yes, there is a bit of eccentricity in all of us, combined with a lot of good will, AND maybe that's what its all about. Of course, with Jean Arthur, James Stewart, Edward Arnold, Spring Byington, Mischa Auer and Donald Meek, front and center, how can you lose?

And music by Chopin?

THE DEFINITION of an Academy Award winner. Capra's next hit was MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON with Jean Arthur and Jimmy Stewart, of course, not to forget Claude Rains, just before CASABLANCA.

Always on dvd and remastered blu ray and whatever comes next.
