The Beginning of Capracorn: it's sweet

After nearly twenty years of sitting on a shelf in my closet, I finally pulled out "That Certain Thing" (1928) directed by Frank Capra and starring Viola Dana and Ralph Graves. Graves made 10 films with Capra, 5 shorts and 5 features, all between 1924-1931. This was Capra's first film with Harry Cohn and Columbia. You've no doubt heard about Capracorn - - - well, this is as corny as corn in August - - - but it plays. It's a tad ripe for today's audiences, and the beginning is a tad prosaic, but this one develops and develops and finally comes out of the grinder a 69 minute winner. Harry Cohn liked it and upped Capra's salary to $3000 per picture.Wonderful character actor Burr McIntosh owns a hugely successful chain of restaurants that have one principle: carve the ham in the sandwiches THIN. We're led to believe that he's successful because of the shortcuts he, the old skinflint, takes. Well, his son, lazy and party drunk Ralph Graves, doesn't have to work and gets along just fine because of ol' dad. Meanwhile: Viola Dana, two kids, living with Ma in a dump and working as a cigar stand worker in a hotel, wants to meet and marry a millionaire. Well, the two of them meet; and they marry within six hours. Dad disinherits the son; Dana has to give back all the presents; goes home to Ma and the kids. Graves tries to work as a day laborer digging ditches, but gets fired. But while eating his lunch he sees something. The other workers have all just come from one of his father's restaurants and are complaining about the lousy food! Graves comes up with a box lunch plan. LOOK OUT, WORLD!The story is pure corn, but it's sweet corn, and the rest is history. This film was obviously shot in 1927 because it was released 1 January 1928. In the next four years Graves and Capra and Jack Holt as a threesome would make "Submarine" ('28), Flight ('29), and "Dirigible" ('31). Capra had run into Barbara Stanwyck in the interim and in '30 they made "Ladies of Leisure". As I said, the rest not only is history, but legend.
