Frank Capra is perhaps the greatest American director of all-time, directing movies from the 1920s to the 1960s. Some of his movies include: Lady for a Day (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film), It's a Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, It Happened One Night (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film), Arsenic and Old Lace, Mr. Deeds Goes To Town (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film), Lost Horizon, You Can't Take It with You, and Meet John Doe. He passed away in 1991 at the age of 94.
Important Added Info: Note that this item (which is a personal letter from Mr. Capra to David Mallery) has been personally autographed (signed) by Frank Capra! He thanks Mr. Mallery (who was a close personal friend) for he and his wife's recent stay at Mr. Mallery's home in Philadelphia, and thanking Mr. Mallery and his family for the "myriad of exquisite pleasures" they experienced! Note that this letter comes from the estate of David Mallery. He was a professor of cinematography at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, from the 1960s into the 1990s. He was a founding member of the AFI (American Film Institute), and a member of the Motion Picture Academy. He was a film critic who wrote many reviews for many publications, and hosted a TV show where he interviewed directors, actors, and others involved in the film industry. Also note that included with the letter is the envelope Mr. Capra sent it in (the envelope has a return address for Mr. Capra printed on the back).

Condition: good to very good. There are small brown stains at the top of the letter and tiny ones near the bottom of the text (see our image).
