He accidentally joins a traveling acting troupe, and falls in love with Ginger Bolivar, who runs the troupe and stars in their Civil War melodrama.

But when Ginger finds out she's been played for a fool Don soon learns that humiliating the woman he loves is no laughing matter.Includes a bonus feature-length documentary which goes behind the scenes of Frank Capra's professional and family life. Hosted by Ron Howard.

Early Capra masterpiece
Great early example of Capra's directing genius. Good story with strong performances from the leads. Well worth searching out. The Capra documentary included on this DVD is a fascinating insight into the man and his body of work. PM
