Special Quote of the Day- Frank Capra





Today in honor of Veteran's Day, we are quoting two filmmakers who served in World War II. Both were generations apart and they had different views of the world, but undoubtedly both Robert Altman and Frank Capra (who will be quoted here) had a tremendosu impact on film.

The quote from Altman can be found on our sister blog "The Daily Vampire."

My late grandfather Donald Sullivan also served during WW II.

Here is the quote from the director of "It's a Wonderful Life:"

"Film is one of the three universal languages, the other two: mathematics and science."

There's an interesting remake of this film titled IT HAPPENED ONE CHRISTMAS. Orson Welles, Marlo Thomas, Cloris Leachman.

Yes, it was a TV film. Welles was quite good!
