  In his day - we are, roughly, at the turn of the forties and fifties - regarded him as the director of "cinepanettoni" made in USA: not Miss asunder, but your spirit and happy ending.  
  During the period when he lived and worked, between the twenties and sixties, was crucial: the years following the crisis of '29 was just needs someone to strappasorrisi tell stories, experienced by the most brilliant actors of the time - James Stewart    ,   Cary Grant   tragicomic aspects and characters that would eventually remained in the collective (the angel Clarence, who was even d '  inspiration internettara ).  
 
  At a time when the most common words are "economic crisis" and "recession", the lightness is a value. Invaluable.
