A man of the people faces tremendous odds and, by doing the right thing, triumphs! But as Joseph McBride reveals in this meticulously researched, definitive biography, the reality was far more complex, a true American tragedy. Using 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 \u003ci\u003eIt Happened One Night\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMr. Deeds Goes to Town\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMeet John Doe\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph McBride\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1604738383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781604738384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 2.20d","brand":"Joseph McBride","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054809084159,"sku":"9781604738384","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aab1de52-2224-4f64-a874-a616e8949ee9.jpg?v=1685032121","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frank-capra-joseph-mcbride-9781604738384","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
