Famous quotes by Frank Capra:

"Friend, you are a divine mingle-mangle of guts and stardust. So hang in there! If doors opened for me, they can open for anyone."

"Whenever a situation develops to its extreme, it is bound to turn around and become its opposite"

"In our film profession you may have Gable's looks, Tracy's art, Marlene's legs or Liz's violet eyes, but they don't mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage"

"Scriptwriting [for film] is the toughest part of the whole racket . . . the least understood and the least noticed."

"My advice to young film-makers is this: Don't follow trends, Start them!"

"Do not help the quick moneymakers who have delusions about taking possession of classics by smearing them with paint."

"Compassion is a two way street."

"Film is one of the three universal languages, the other two: mathematics and music"

"I made mistakes in drama. I thought drama was when actors cried. But drama is when the audience cries."

"A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something."

"Whenever a situation develops to its extreme, it is bound to turn around and become its opposite."

"Film is one of the three universal languages, the other two: mathematics and music."

"If you want to send a message, try Western Union."

"Scriptwriting is the toughest part of the whole racket... the least understood and the least noticed."

"In our film profession you may have Gable's looks, Tracy's art, Marlene's legs or Liz's violet eyes, but they don't mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage."

"Don't follow trends, start trends."

"My advice to young film-makers is this: don't follow trends, start them!"

The Battle of Russia - Why We Fight Part 5 Frank Capra WWII Stalingrad 41450 HD

Duration: 79:29
Updated: 25 Sep 2014

Part 5 of the Why We Fight series by Frank Capra, The Battle of Russia is the longest film of the series. The film begins with an overview of previous failed attempts to conquer Russia: by the Teutonic Knights in 1242 (footage from Sergei Eisenstein's film Alexander Nevsky is used here), by Charles XII of Sweden in 1704 (footage from Vladimir Petrov's film Peter the First), by Napoleon I in 1812, and by Germany in World War I. The vast natural resources of the Soviet Union are then described, showing why the land is such a hot prize for conquerors. To give a positive impression of the Soviet Union to the American audience, the country's ethnic diversity is covered in detail. Later on, elements of Russian culture familiar to Americans, including the musical compositions of Tchaikovsky and Leo Tolstoy's book War and Peace are also mentioned. Communism is never mentioned at any point in the film. The start of the film also includes a quote from U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who commended the Russian people's defense of their nation as one of the most courageous feats in military history. The film then covers the Nazi conquests in the Balkans, described as a preliminary to close off possible Allied counter-invasion routes, before the war against Russia was launched on June 22, 1941. The narration describes the German "keil und kessel" tactics for offensive warfare, and the Soviet ""defense in depth"" used to counter this. The scorched earth Soviet tactics, the room-to-room urban warfare in Soviet cities, and the guerilla warfare behind enemy lines are also used to underline the Soviet resolve for victory against the Nazis. This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD. For more information visit http://www.PeriscopeFilm.com

"Friend, you are a divine mingle-mangle of guts and stardust. So hang in there! If doors opened for me, they can open for anyone."

"Whenever a situation develops to its extreme, it is bound to turn around and become its opposite"

"In our film profession you may have Gable's looks, Tracy's art, Marlene's legs or Liz's violet eyes, but they don't mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage"

"Scriptwriting [for film] is the toughest part of the whole racket . . . the least understood and the least noticed."

"My advice to young film-makers is this: Don't follow trends, Start them!"

"Do not help the quick moneymakers who have delusions about taking possession of classics by smearing them with paint."

"Compassion is a two way street."

"Film is one of the three universal languages, the other two: mathematics and music"

"I made mistakes in drama. I thought drama was when actors cried. But drama is when the audience cries."

"A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something."

"Whenever a situation develops to its extreme, it is bound to turn around and become its opposite."

"Film is one of the three universal languages, the other two: mathematics and music."
