Overview

Bank president Thomas Dickson Walter Huston has instituted a lending policy that shows great faith in ordinary people but which also irritates his board of directors, as does his claim that an increased money supply will help end the Depression. Elsewhere in the bank, criminal Dude Finlay Robert Ellis has coerced head cashier Cluett Gavin Gordon into cooperating with a robbery by threatening to reveal Cluett as a habitual gambler. Dickson's neglected wife Phyllis Kay Johnson, upset that Thomas has forgotten their anniversary, agrees to go out with Cluett, but they're spotted by head teller Matt Brown Pat O'Brien. Matt goes to Cluett's apartment and convinces Phyllis to leave with him just as the robbery takes place back at the bank. Because he was responsible for locking the vault, Matt is assumed to be in league with the robbers, and he's arrested. News of the robbery leads to frantic depositors demanding their money back from the bank; Dickson cannot talk them out of it, and the bank is running out of money. This gives the board of directors the leverage over Dickson that they've been seeking, and they try to force his resignation. ~ Bill Warren, Rovi

Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble
Almost single-handedly, director Frank Capra turned Columbia -- still thought of as a Poverty Row outfit at the beginning of the sound era -- into a major studio. Capra’s succession of sensational Depression-era films won glowing reviews as well as the approbation of moviegoers, who rendered their own judgments at the nation's ticket booths. This long-overdue box set collects five of the most acclaimed and best loved of Capra’s '30s classics. American Madness (1932), starring Walter Huston and Pat O'Brien, contains the filmmaker's first use of a soon-to-be familiar plot device: the last-reel uniting of ordinary, working-class people to save a beleaguered protagonist. It Happened One Night (1934) took the "runaway bride" variation of the screwball-comedy format to new heights, showcasing Claudette Colbert as a madcap heiress and Clark Gable as the determined reporter who catches up to her. (The duo’s famous hitchhiking scene and the bus sing-along to “The Man on the Flying Trapeze” are among the most memorable film sequences of the era.) Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) stars Gary Cooper as one of Capra's Everyman heroes, a small-town guy who inherits a fortune and becomes a target of cynical big-city types (including Jean Arthur's fast-talking "sob sister") eager to exploit the well-meaning rube. You Can't Take It with You (1938), adapted from a Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway smash, stars Lionel Barrymore as the patriarch of a wildly eccentric family whose members are determined to shut out the world's unpleasantness. James Stewart plays the wealthy young man who falls for Jean Arthur, portraying Barrymore's "normal" granddaughter. Stewart and Arthur were re-teamed the following year in Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, the improbable but still affecting story of an idealistic young man, newly elected to Congress, who finds the nation's capital awash in corruption and hypocrisy. Each of these movies boasts that calculated appeal to the emotions once derided by the director's detractors as "Capra-corn" -- but now considered a term of endearment. — Ed Hulse

    Capra-Corn? Not In My Book!

    Now that Christmas is upon us, I'm sure a lot of people will watching Frank Capra's 1946 classic, "It's A Wonderful Life". Yet, I find myself going back to the movies that Capra made before "Life" that made him into a major filmmaker. "The Frank Capra Collection" contains five of the best films he did in the 1930's while working for Columbia Pictures. A few of them are films that we already know---such as the Oscar-winning "It Happened One Night", the poor-man parable of "Mr. Deeds Goes To Town" and the political dramedy that is "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington". However, there are two lesser known films that make this all the more commendable. One of them is "You Can't Take It With You", a delightful comedy about a family full of eccentrics that sort of lays the groundwork for Capra's equally eccentric "Arsenic And Old Lace". This film, like many of other Capra films, features his stock company of actors including James Stewart, Lionel Barrymore, Jean Arthur and an almost teenage dancer named Ann Miller. The other film here is "American Madness", made in 1932 at the height of The Great Depression, it deals with the subject of bank panics. Walter Houston plays a thoughtful and over-trusting bank president who nearly faces ruin when his bank is robbed. When word gets out about the robbery, the public panics and we witness something which is sadly and timely in these financially depressed times. My only complaint with this brilliant boxed set is why they didn't include "Lost Horizon", Capra's much-maligned fantasy fable from 1939? Or "The Miracle Woman", which he made back in 1931 in which Barbra Stanwyck portrayed a not-so-honest radio evangelist? Including those movies would've made this collection indespensible. Still, you can't complain with these five movies, two of which hardly ever get shown on television these days.

    Capra Corny and Capterrific

    All five movies are great if you like this classic era output. They become progressively better from the early 30's to to 1939, which shows that Capra was in a learning mode. . And they get longer too , with the first movie "American Madness" at 76 minutes(!) to " Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" at 129 minutes - still short by today's standards.

    The corny award goes to " It Happend One Night" but it was fun. My favorites are "You Can't Take It With You" and "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington". Am I a Jimmy Stewart fan or what? Try it. You'll likeit.
