Summary: "FRANK CAPRA: THE CATASTROPHE OF SUCCESS is the first major biography of one of the greatest directors in Hollywood history, the man behind such classic films as IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON, and IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE [...] FRANK CAPRA: THE CATASTROPHE OF SUCCESS is the result of more than seven years of work. It is drawn from extensive archival research and interviews with 175 people who knew or worked with Capra, as well as many hours of interviews with Capra himself. In this biography, Joseph McBride gives us the definitive portrait of one of our greatest filmmakers." [Taken from book jacket]
