YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU (1938) 313 Frank Capra did a wonderful job of direction when he brought George S. Kaufman's and Moss Hart's lunatic play, You Can't Take It With You, to the screen. The father who pays no income tax because he doesn't approve of it; the mother who paints, but who took up writing because somebody delivered a typewriter at the house by mistake; the boarder who makes fireworks in the basement; the son who plays the vibraphone; the daughter who mistakenly thinks she can dance— they were all there, and funnier than ever. In this family scene we have: Halliwell Hobbes posing on the box of explosives, Spring Byington at the easel, Dub Taylor at the vibraphone, Ann Miller, and Mischa Auer. The cast also included Jean Arthur, James Stewart, Lionel Barrymore, and Edward Arnold. BELOW The Dawn Patrol, which had featured Richard Barthelmess and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in 1930, was remade by Warners in 1938, this time with Errol Flynn and David Niven, a popular newcomer, as the leads. Niven is at the left in this group, then come Flynn, Donald Crisp, and Basil Rathbone.
