An Autographed Letter (measures 7 1/4" x 10 1/2"; 1 page) (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 (which is a personal letter from Mr. Capra to David Mallery) has been personally autographed (signed) by Frank Capra! He thanks Mr. Mallery (who was a close personal friend) for his recent review of Capra's "State of the Union", which he says he thinks "it is my best directed film". He also writes much about his personal life. 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. Condition: good. The letter was attached to an album page with double-stick tape on the back of the left edge of the letter, and it is still attached.
