So This Is Love (1928)
No relation to the 1953 Grace Moore biopic of the same name, 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.

Facing criminal charges, Hornsby threatens Florence with exposure unless she runs away with him. Though John tries to restore her faith by pretending that he can see again, she's determined to confess, until a fight leaves Hornsby electrocuted and sparks a fire that destroys the church, forcing Florence to help lead a panicked congregation to safety before John saves her from the flames.

That Certain Thing
Director Frank Capra's first feature for Columbia Pictures, the silent That Certain Thing stars Viola Dana and Ralph Graves. Dana plays a poor girl who falls in love with wealthy Graves, the son of a millionaire restaurateur. When Graves declares that he has no intention of going into the family business, his father cuts him off without a dime. With nary a dime between them, Graves and Dana hit upon a moneymaking plan: they'll manufacture box lunches in Dana's kitchen, then sell them to construction workers from the back of her Model T. The box-lunch enterprise blossoms into a big business, driving dad's chain of restaurants into bankruptcy. All is forgiven when Father becomes Graves' junior partner. Lensed for less than $20,000 (the "prop" box lunches saved catering costs!), That Certain Thing was a hit, launching a long and rewarding association between Capra and Columbia.

Lost horizon
Ronald Colman og Jane Wyatt har hovedrollene i denne påkostede klassikeren om det fortryllende paradiset Shangri-La hvor tiden står stille. Etter nesten 50 år, ble den 132 minutter lange originalversjonen av Frank Capras tidløse mesterstykke, Lost Horizon (basert på James Hiltons bestselgende roman), relansert i 1986. Filmen ble distribuert til hæren under annen verdenskrig og ble forkortet med 22 minutter etter lanseringen i 1937 for å reflektere oppfatningen av kineserne under krigen og for å tone ned filmens pasifistiske budskap. Det tok 13 år med detektivarbeid for filmhistoriker Robert Gitt å spore opp de forsvunnede opptakene. Med feiende flott art direction, er settet til Shangri-La ansett å være det største som er bygget i Hollywood, og det skaffet også designer Stephan Goosson en Oscar (Lost Horizon vant to Oscarpriser: Art Direction/Sett-design og Filmklipp). Filmens budsjett var gigantisk og kostet nesten fire ganger mer enn noen annen Columbia-film på den tiden, et beløp som tilsvarer rundt $ 30-40 millioner i dag. Kassasuksessen Lost Horizon var et avvik fra Capras typiske positive, "amerikanske" tema og fortsetter å trollbinde publikum selv den dag i dag.
