## Description

Heartwarming and timeless classic, directed by Frank Capra, Winner of two Academy Awards, now restored in 4K.

Review: Frank Capra's Brilliance In A Nutshell - Frank Capra is my favorite director. His movies depict an America that never really existed, but should have. His films respect, and for the most part admire, the common man. It's a Wonderful Life, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and of course, You Can't Take It With you all display the common man as generally decent and good. I wish the world existed as Capra captured it in his movies. You Can't Take It With You follows the Sycamore family, a free-spirited bunch who prioritize personal freedom and expression over society's expectations. When Alice Sycamore (played by the amazing Jean Arthur) falls for a member of the high-and-mighty Kirby family, hijinks ensue, leading to a massive fireworks explosion and a night in the clink. The Kirby patriarch learns that succeeding in business will never compensate for failing as a father. It's Capra at his very best. Strong performances abound in this film. Capra's movies are almost like watching repertory theatre, with pretty much the same group of actors showing up in all his films. 15-year-old Ann Miller dances her way through the sets. Jimmy Stewart is as likable as ever, giving the kind of performance that made him one of Capra's favorite leading men. Jean Arthur doesn't have as much to do in this picture as she does in some of Capra's other movies, but she is, as always, a wonderful actress who gives a fine performance. The real star of this movie is Lionel Barrymore. His exchange with the IRS agent had me cheering. ("NOT with MY Money!) You Can't Take It With You is a great movie, well-deserving of the Best Picture Award it won. I recommend it to people of all ages.
Review: Capra's crown. - This film is probably Capra's opus. It still holds up today with its themes of socioeconomics and humanist ideals. I never once felt the film was dated, and that is something I rarely find myself thinking when it comes to films of the 30s-50s. This one has so much charm, so much colorful dialogue and eccentric behavior, that you can't help but displace its themes from the 1930s setting into our modern world. It is also a comedy, and I would disagree with certain reviewers that think this doesn't hold up to some of Capra's other films. I think it towers over them in some respects. The bluray is fabulous and gives the viewer a sharp and keen look at a film from 90 years ago. But it's the characters that bring this film alive, and the material from pulitzer winner George S. Kaufman is one reason it inevitably has such strengths in its thematic discourse. Nothing seems dated here except possibly the Hollywood ending, but all in all I have little to complain about. There are very few films of the 30s that provoke such joy. This is an essential film for anybody. Comedy and drama all in one. What a special film.
