Frank Capra Season - Coming Soon
Frank Capra is regarded as one of the great directors of American cinema. His string of films for Columbia Pictures during the 1930’s lifted the spirits of a depression-ridden America. Experiencing Capra’s belief in basic human kindness, optimism and hard work, cinema-goers were given a welcome respite from the harsh realities of everyday life.This Autumn, Park Circus is pleased to present a touring season of much-loved classic Capra titles from the Sony Pictures collection of Columbia classics.Headlining the season are romantic screwball comedy IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT and racy drama FORBIDDEN, which will both be re-released on 29 October, opening at BFI Southbank and selected cinemas. -
