Talk:Frank Capra

message: I believe that Capra's DP was Joseph Walker not Joseph MacDonald. IMDB seems to confirm this.

"In 1930 Capra went to work for Mack Sennett and then moved to Columbia where he formed a close association with screenwriter Robert Riskin..."
I changed that to Columbia Pictures because it's a bit ambiguous - at first I found it odd that Capra would move to South America. Also,Columbia has one of the longest disambiguation pages I've seen.

thread_title: DP

message: I know of no such film.  The fact that Mr Deeds Goes to Town(1936) is based on a story of this name suggests that this may have been a working title.  No other sourse I've found gives any movie credit to Capra in 1935.  I've deleted it from the filmography. 86.20.54.83 00:23, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Opera Hat (1935) 

message: is more of a hatchet job. Has the writer of this entry actually read the book?
I'd suggest that of COURSE an autobiography is subjective. Who is ever 100 percent objective about the details of their own life?
McBride doesn't challenge Capra's interpretation. McBride seemingly set out to wipe Capra's legend from the face of the earth. A nasty, bitter, mean-spirited book, and it's a total shame, since it's obvious McBride did years of research. McBride's subjective interpretation of the voluminous material he compiled is what absolutely ruins the book.
I would definitely reword the passage on McBride's book. In light of actually reading the book, the commentary on McBride's book seems almost droll.

message: Capra was very anti-Communist and testified against corrupt Hollywood figures who were attempting to push Communist propaganda through Hollywood. Seems odd this article doesn't mention any of that. JettaMann (talk) 03:10, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

message: A plausibly relevant contribution -- In 1921, Capra created a short film with Dorothy Revier when the Royal Italian Navy ship Libia stopped in San Francisco during a round-the-world cruise.
