populist tradition of Will Rogers during the 1930s and 1950s, shows
how populism came under attack during the McCarthy era, explores a
film movement that built on Capra's legacy in the 1970s and 1990s,
and profiles Ron Howard as a contemporary example of pushing Capra's
principles into new areas. Includes a selected filmography.
