In 1932, with the Great Depression at its gnawing worst, before FDR, Frank Capra made a great movie called American Madness. The entire movie is here in four parts. It’s worth watching, even in this compromised format. At the end of each part, clicking the play button should start the next one. If not, click the “next” button.

My favorite actor is Philip Seymour Hoffman. I don’t know if Capote is the best thing he’s ever done, but it certainly beats Love Lisa. Here is Hoffman winning his Oscar™.

Bill Pratt’s stage name was Boris Karloff. Pratts don’t always make friends easily.
