“How did you feel feeding donuts to a horse? Got a big kick out of it, huh? Got a big laugh? Did you ever think of feeding donuts to human beings? No.”

Frank Capra the way you light & frame & block your shots I just… smooch!!! I give you a smooch! (Cinematographer Joseph Walker, you get a smooch too of course.) 💋

Apparently “doodle” was a new term in 30s!

“Course I wouldn’t mind, sir, but Clara won’t eat nothing BUT donuts now!”
