	Frank Capra (1897-1991)
		Capra was building a distinguished academic record when his father, having just bought a lemon grove with his savings, died in a farm accident, a tragedy that would resonate in several of the director’s future films.
		Capra’s touch was already apparent in the comic story of a Belgian war veteran, a wide-eyed innocent who goes to America in search of a girl, his pen pal during the war, and ends up defeating a corrupt gang of bootleggers that had taken over her small town.
		Capra eagerly met the challenge of sound and was in the forefront of those seeking to liberate early talkies from the confinement of the sound stage.

	Capra and the Critics
		All of the scholarly commentators on Capra's work (and on that of most other directors) assume, seemingly without question, that the function of criticism is to move from relatively superficial and unimportant perceptual events (everything you actually hear and see on the screen) to a realm of profound, and invariably invisible or hidden, "deep" meanings.
		But in the case of Capra (and many other filmmakers) what American academic critics seem not to have recognized is that their one-style-fits-all critical procedure may do violence to the experience they attempt to characterize.
		The only problem (which is, in Capra's view, of course no problem at all, but a cause for celebration) is that her symbols won't stand still the way she wants them to.

	The Catholic Vision of Frank Capra
		Capra's biographers and critics agree that the power and consistency of the filmmaker's moral vision are rooted in his own experiences.
		Capra's films celebrate the values associated with life in a community — solidarity and selflessness in particular — but without the close connection to ethnic identity that is so important to the second-generation Italian-Americans represented by Coppola, Scorsese, and Michael Cimino.
		Capra said on several occasions that the underlying idea of his movies was actually the Sermon on the Mount.

	THE EMERGING NEW CULTURE with FRITJOF CAPRA, Ph.D. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		CAPRA: Well, in the schools they say that you can't teach management the way they used to teach it, because the problems that arise today cannot be neatly pigeonholed as problems of finance, marketing strategy, research and development.
		CAPRA: I think it is. I must tell you I know that you have done a lot of studies in that, and I'm not so interested in it professionally, just simply because you can't do everything, so this is the part that I've not devoted much energy and interest to.
		CAPRA: Right, in any kind of organization, and especially in organizations that work for social change, the level of consciousness, where we talk about meaning and values and ethics, is the one that is really the driving force.

	Capra: A memorial essay written when Capra died
		Their Capra is a cinematic Norman Rockwell—sentimental and nougatty, defending family values, celebrating small-town life, and championing (as the commentators never tire of repeating) "the common man"—whoever in the world that might be.
		Their Capra was someone out of a mythical American golden age, a man who never existed in a past that never was, someone quaint and antiquated and infinitely distant from the present moment, like Santa Claus someone adults love but know that only children or Walt Disney really believe in.
		Capra demonstrates how imperiled our identities are, how easily we can lose ourselves in systems that make us over in their image, even as, like the character who plays "Doe," we may not even realize that we are giving ourselves away.

		Capra's book is great because we get to hear Capra's own opinions on various aspects of his films, not because it's brilliantly written.
		Capra is not a modest man and in his autobiography "The Name Above The Title" he should have given more credit to those talented people such as cinematographer John Walker who helped make so many of his finest films.

		Capra rose to prominence as a contract director at Columbia Pictures with his successful mixture of populist drama and sentimental comedy that defined depression-era attitudes and elevated Harry Cohn's studio from Poverty Row status to one of the Big Eight majors.
		Capra was suitably rewarded with his own production unit and an unusually high level of creative freedom.
		Capra had adopted a "one man, one film" mantra which later generations would dub the auteur theory, which claimed that a film, like any other important work of art, should be largely the product of a single creative vision and not the offspring of a studio committee.

		Frank Capra's films contain strong elements of theological optimism, the most clear example of which is 'It's a Wonderful Life.' This film examines intersections between God and culture, the presence of glory in ordinary events, and the powerlessness of people that causes them to seek God.
		Capra's story of the ultimate political outsider was promoted by exhibitors who asserted its educational value, thus entering a debate about the practicality and efficacy of teaching democratic values to adolescents and children, primarily concentrating on a domestic response.
		Capra's failure to adapt the visual framework of arguments from preceding films to The Battle of China explains its temporary suppression by the United States government.

		When Frank Capra died, it was inevitable that It's a Wonderful Life would be trotted out to demonstrate his life-affirming, joyous love of people.
		Post-war prosperity (and the federal deposit insurance programs) made bank failures a relative rarity, at least for a few decades, and thrift institutions like George Bailey's building and loan in fact did help underwrite the rise of suburbia, and thus the fulfillment of some Capra-era dreams.
		Capra's group of socially conscious films of the '30s reflected a reasonably coherent fear of the intensifying class conflict, fascism and militarism that seemed then to be overtaking the world.
