Description

Although Frank Capra (1897–1991) is best referred to as the director of It Happened One Night, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, You Can not Take It with You, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Arsenic and Old Lace, and It’s a Wonderful Life, he was once also an award-winning documentary filmmaker in addition to a at the back of-the-scene force within the Director’s Guild, the Motion Picture Academy, and the Producer’s Guild. He worked with or knew socially everyone within the movie business from Mack Sennett, Chaplin, and Keaton within the silent era through the illustrious names of the golden age. He directed Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Jean Harlow, Claudette Colbert, Bette Davis, and others. Reading his autobiography is like having Capra sitting to your living room, regaling you with his anecdotes. In The Name Above the Title he reveals the deeply personal story of how, regardless of winning six Academy Awards, he struggled right through his life against the glamors, vagaries, and frustrations of Hollywood for the creative freedom to make one of the vital most memorable films of all time.
