Fascinating facts
Frank Capra was President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1938 and was at the forefront of a union dispute amongst producers and directors that was threatening to disrupt that year's Oscar ceremony. Fortunately it was resolved in time for the President to walk off with 2 more Oscars to add to his collection.
You Can’t Take It With You was the first of three collaborations between director Frank Capra and actor James Stewart - the others being Mr Smith Goes to Washington and It’s a Wonderful Life.
