An Original Vintage Autographed Hardcover Book (measures 7" x 9 1/2"; 513 pages) (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, and it is the first edition from 1971, but it was autographed in 1981! Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and sometimes he would find second or third celebrities to autograph an item he already had gotten signed! In addition, he would ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from the Larry Edmunds Bookshop, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: good. There is brown water staining down the right edge of all pages, but the pages are not stuck together, and fortunately, the staining does not extend into the text on any of the pages (it does not extend into the pages on any of the first 400 pages, and in the last 100 or so pages, it extends into the right margin of all pages). Other than the staining, the book is in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
