Frank Cara(It's a Wonderful) was prophetic in his 1971 autobiography, from wikipedia of all places.

In his autobiography, written in 1971, Capra expressed his feelings about the shifting film industry:

The winds of change blew through the dream factories of make-believe, tore at its crinoline tatters ... The hedonists, the homosexuals, the hemophiliac bleeding hearts, the God-haters, the quick-buck artists who substituted shock for talent, all cried: "Shake 'em! Rattle 'em! God is dead. Long live pleasure! Nudity? Yea! Wife-swapping? Yea! Liberate the world from prudery. Emancipate our films from morality!" ... Kill for thrill—shock! Shock! To hell with the good in man, Dredge up his evil—shock! Shock!

Frank Capra loved America. Hollywood today hates America.
