This study proposes a new definition of Frank Capra's work as a cinema of identity, focusing on his reflection on American national identity as well as his own positioning as a US immigrant. With chapters on films such as It's a Wonderful Life, the book offers a fresh appraisal of this celebrated director and his often problematic films.
