Frank Capra
Political views

Capra's political views coalesced in some of his movies, which promoted and celebrated the spirit of American individualism. A conservative Republican, Capra railed against Franklin D. Roosevelt during his tenure as governor of New York and opposed his presidency during the years of the Depression. Capra stood against government intervention during the national economic crisis. Nevertheless, the Los Angeles FBI chapter in May 1947 regarded Capra's film It's a Wonderful Life as glorifying “values or institutions judged to be particularly anti-American or pro-Communist.”

In his later years, Capra became a self-described pacifist and was very critical of the Vietnam War.
