Auction History Result 9r102 FRANK CAPRA signed letter 1980 to film critic David Mallery, one friend to another! Date Sold 9/27/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed Letter (measures 7 1/4" x 10 1/2" [18 x 27 cm]) (Learn More) Frank Capra is perhaps the most successful American director of all-time, directing movies from the 1920s to the 1960s, and for a number of years in the 1930s and 1940s, he was the most important person at Columbia Studios, more so than any of their actors. Some of his movies include: Lady for a Day (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film), It's a Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, It Happened One Night (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film), Arsenic and Old Lace, Mr. Deeds Goes To Town (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film), Lost Horizon, You Can't Take It with You, and Meet John Doe. He passed away in 1991 at the age of 94. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Frank Capra (he talks of Mallery's family, as one friend to another)! Note that this letter comes from the estate of David Mallery. He was a professor of cinematography at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, from the 1960s into the 1990s. He was a founding member of the AFI (American Film Institute), and a member of the Motion Picture Academy. He was a film critic who wrote many reviews for many publications, and hosted a TV show where he interviewed directors, actors, and others involved in the film industry. Because he became personal friends with most of the actors and directors that he corresponded with, it is virtually a certainty that they hand signed their letters to him, because he was a personal friend and not a "fan". As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: good to very good. The letter was attached to an album page with a piece of double stick tape on the back of the top of the letter. It could easily be separated by a professional or a talented amateur, or it could be displayed as it is. Learn More about condition grades
