Frank Capra: The Tenth Annual American Film Institute Life Achievement Award, March 4, 1982 [event program/tribute book]

  • Stapled wraps
  • [Washington DC]: The American Film Institute, 1982
By {Capra, Frank} [The American Film Institute] (McBride, Joseph, ed.)
[Washington DC]: The American Film Institute. Near Fine. 1982. First Edition. Stapled wraps. [a nice clean copy, minor handling wear only and a couple of small horizontal stress lines along the spine]. (B&W photographs) Nicely-done program/tribute book, largely photographic, from Capra's Life Achievement Award dinner; includes filmography. It's interesting to note that the tribute book's editor (also the co-author of the tribute itself) was Joseph McBride, who some years later published a highly critical biography of Capra. [NOTE that this is not the version of the program that was produced for sale to the public by the AFI (which had a picture of Capra on the front), but rather the program distributed at the dinner itself, with a silver-on-silver cover featuring only the AFI logo).] .
