Title: bloated Capra-corn
Review: Capra turned a delightful Broadway play into a bloated piece of Capra-corn. I'm not berating the film for not copying the play. I am berating the film for being heavy handed and neither particularly amusing or touching. [Spoiler] To the whimsical story of the Sycamore family Capra has grafted a story about an megalomaniacal businessman who drives his competitor to death. The two stories don't mix. Even Jean Arthur and the rest of the talented cast can't save this film. Hard to understand how it won two Academy Awards. But then again other turkeys such as "Cavalcade" and "Greatest Show on Earth" also won Best Picture.
