About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1992. 768 pages, [24] pages of plates, illustrations; 26 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Spine slightly rolled at the crown. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. "Moviegoers often assume Frank Capra's life resembled his beloved films: As in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington or It's a Wonderful Life, a man of the people faces tremendous odds and, by doing the right thing, triumphs. But as Joseph McBride reveals in this researched biography, the reality was far more complex, a true American tragedy. Using newly declassified U.S. government documents about Capra's response to being considered a possible 'subversive' during the post-World War II Red Scare, McBride adds a final chapter to his unforgettable portrait of the man who gave us It Happened One Night, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, and Meet John Doe." - Publisher.. 1st.
