Octavo. xii, 513pp. Capra's autobiography recounts some of his most famous filmmaking efforts, with anecdotes about classical Hollywood supplemented by numerous photographs. For all its jocularity, the book also provides a sincere critique of film form, as Capra saw it, including the proliferation of montage techniques, technological developments in color and sound, and the works of great actors like Jean Harlow, Jimmy Stewart, and Gary Cooper. Bound in full orange cloth over boards with black onlaid spine label. Mild sunning to edges and bump to top of upper cover, else near fine in near fine dust wrapper.
