Review of You Can't Take It with You (1938) by Shane P — 15 May 2009
Probably Capra s movies are like Beatles songs, if one plays them reversing the DVD there is a message from the Hell. Capra is used to this eccentric characters who are, at the same time, the guardians of human values.
In here the skinny heir played by James Stewart likes more his girlfriend (and secretary) family more than his strict and strictly concerned to business family. There is the usual happy ending, the usual trial, in which the arid rich are confronting the (morally rich) poor people, and so on.
After all this family whose name is Sycamore, or many of them are called like that (grandpa is not a sycamoreâ?¦ anyway) are the family we all would like to have, someone who do not frustrate the aspiration of a person, just because they project on the other people their own desires, they own ambitions.
