In this book, Zagarrio looks beyond the established concerns of Capra's interpreters. He illuminates aspects of Capra's works that were hiding in plain sight. In important early films such as "Ladies of Leisure" (1930) and "Forbidden" (1932), he discovers a despair deeper than humiliation and more permanent than the political machinations in which Smith and Doe found themselves enmeshed.
