Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In This Study, Professor Carney Provides A Fresh Analysis Of The Career And Work Of Film Director Frank Capra. There Are Few Filmgoers Who Have Not Seen Or Been Moved By One Of The Thirtysix Feature Films Directed By Frank Capra Between 1926 And 1961, Among Them Are It'S A Wonderful Life, Mr Smith Goes To Washington, Meet John Doe, Lost Horizon, It Happened One Night, Mr Deeds Goes To Town, And Pocketful Of Miracles. Critics, However, Have Often Dismissed The Director As Sentimental, Or Patronised His Populist Tendencies. Professor Carney Locates The Director'S Oeuvre Within A Larger Tradition Of Postromantic Expression, Placing Him In The Company Of Figures Such As Hawthorne, Emerson, James, Winslow, Homer, Sargent And Edward Hopper. His Vast Knowledge Of Capra'S Biography, The Intricacies Of The Hollywood Studio System, Filmmaking Techniques, And The American Cultural Heritage Has Produced A Study That Moves Beyond The Boundaries Of Film Scholarship. The Detailed Readings Of Individual Films Are Presented Within A Broad Cultural Context And The Context Of Capra'S Own Development. Thus, The Book Is As Much An Exploration Of The American Imagination As It Is A Study Of A Single Director'S Work.
