Screenwriter Robert Riskin Out Of Capra's Shadow

Send us a text

Sandy and Terry discuss screenwriter Robert Riskin who spent most of his career working with legendary director Frank Capra. Over the years, Capra's name has overshadowed Riskin's enormous contribution to their collaborative work. And in the end, one of these men didn't show up at the other's funeral.  

Robert Riskin was like a character from one of his films, a self-made man who didn't graduate from a prestigious college. He didn't go to college at all. 

Join us as we put Robert Riskin into the spotlight where he belongs.
