Here Is Germany (1945) [Movie] TMDB IMDb WikiData
Here Is Germany
director: Frank Capra actor: Anthony Veiller
A "know-your-enemy" propaganda film similar to "Know Your Enemy: Japan" and "My Japan", films about Japan with the same objective. It contains a history of the prelude to WW II, the death camps and other Nazi war crimes, and commentary on the character of the German people. Directed by Frank Capra, this film is in essentially the same format as his "Why We Fight" series. It was intended to be shown to American troops participating in the invasion and occupation of Germany. But by the time it was ready, events had overtaken it -- Germany was already well on its way to falling -- so the film was shelved. Although it is readily available for public-domain viewing on the Internet, it has never been widely distributed or shown.

So This Is Love?
director: Frank Capra actor: Shirley Mason / William Collier Jr.
other title: 这就是爱 / Un punch à l'estomac
So This is Love? was another early Frank Capra production for fledgling Columbia Pictures. The hero, dress designer Jerry McGuire (William Collier Jr.), is tired of being considered a wimp. After business hours, Jerry secretly takes boxing lessons, enabling him to knock the stuffings out of his burly rival Spike Mullins (Johnnie Walker). Jerry's newfound pugilistic skills wins him the affections of store clerk Hilda Jensen (Shirley Mason), who's just car-razy about "cave men." Filmed in a fast three weeks, So This is Love? was completed before Frank Capra's Matinee Idol but released afterward. Leading lady Shirley Mason was the sister of Viola Dana, who starred in Capra's initial Columbia effort, That Certain Thing.

Molly Kelly, a cigar stand drudge, marries the wealthy son of a restauranter who (as a result) disinherits his son. Later the son "makes good" by opening a lunch box stand and his father, whose business has fallen off, gives the young couple financial help to expand their business. An early effort from director Frank Capra (IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE), THAT CERTAIN THING is a glimpse at the cinematic beginnings of this great filmmaker (and, therein, warrants some accommodating on the part of the viewer for the well-worn print).
