Sunday Reflection

"My films must let every man, woman, and child know that God loves them, that I love them, and that peace and salvation will become a reality only when they all learn to love each other." -- Legendary film director, screenwriter and producer Frank Capra (5/18/1897 - 9/3/1991), from "Frank Capra, An Autobiography", 1971. Capra was the winner of three Academy Awards for Best Director, for "It Happened One Night," "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town," and "You Can't Take It With You."

Sunday Reflection: Magic Carpet

“It was a magic carpet - woven with the coils and ringlets of a wondrous peel of limber plastic, whose filaments carried the genetic code of all the arts of man, and from which the abracadabra of science conjured up the hopes, the fears, the dreams of man - the magic carpet of FILM!” -- Frank Capra, whose film "It's A Wonderful Life" remains a sentimental Christmas "magic carpet" generations after it premiered in January 1947, appearing in movie theaters and on air year after year.
