About This Item
New York: Farrar & Rinehart. Very Good+. (c.1937). First Edition. Hardcover. (in a new FACSIMILE dust jacket) [nice clean copy with just a touch of wear at the extremities, slight fading to spine cloth and a little dulling to the gilt lettering thereon]. (B&W photo frontispiece) Hart & Kaufman's classic Pulitzer Prize-winning play about a family of eccentrics, memorably filmed by Frank Capra in 1938. The movie won that year's Best Picture Academy Award, as well as earning Capra the Best Director award -- his third Oscar in a period of just five years and, as it turned out, his last as a feature film director. (His wartime documentary PRELUDE TO WAR was one of four shared recipients for the Best Documentary Feature award, however, in that category's inaugural year.) It's worth noting (at least I think so) that although none of the original Broadway cast appeared in the movie, Henry Travers, the original paterfamilias on stage (replaced by Lionel Barrymore for the film), did have his Capra moment a few years later on, as the guardian angel Clarence Oddbody in IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE -- which also linked him memorably with Jimmy Stewart, who had starred in the 1938 film. .
