You Can’t Take It With You Blu-Ray Review - AVClub

AVClub: By 1938, Frank Capra had won two Best Director Oscars, and was one of the few behind-the-camera talents that the public knew by name. And yet his career was in trouble. His relationship with his Columbia Pictures boss Harry Cohn was strained, due to the studio’s stinginess and Capra’s sudden interest in mounting expensive, muddled prestige projects like 1937’s Lost Horizon. Just when both sides seemed bound for a protracted battle in the courts, cooler heads prevailed, and Cohn made peace with Capra by restructuring his contract and offering him the chance to direct an adaptation of one of Broadway’s biggest hit comedies: George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart’s overstuffed farce You Can’t Take It With You. That film—the first to feature Capra’s name above the title—became a smash, winning him his third Academy Award. He followed it up a year later with Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, capping one of the most successful decades that any Hollywood filmmaker has ever seen.
