520 1 $a"Moviegoers often assume Frank Capra's life resembled his beloved films: As in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington or It's a Wonderful Life, a man of the people faces tremendous odds and, by doing the right thing, triumphs. But as Joseph McBride reveals in this researched biography, the reality was far more complex, a true American tragedy.
520 8 $aUsing newly declassified U.S. government documents about Capra's response to being considered a possible "subversive" during the post-World War II Red Scare, McBride adds a final chapter to his unforgettable portrait of the man who gave us It Happened One Night, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, and Meet John Doe."--BOOK JACKET.
