Frank Capra
You can't take it with you
Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff: Maybe it'll stop you trying to be so desperate about making more money than you can ever use? You can't take it with you, Mr. Kirby. So what good is it? As near as I can see, the only thing you can take with you is the love of your friends.
The play won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937 and was still running on Broadway when the film opened.
Columbia paid $200,000 for the film rights to the play.
Whereas the play had only 19 characters, there are 153 parts in the film.
A 1938 feature film usually ran to 8,000 feet of film. Frank Capra shot 329,000 feet for this one.
To this day, there's rarely been a more joyful celebration of the unconventional than You Can't Take It with You.
