This still shows Edward Arnold, James Stewart, and Mary Forbes in Kaufman and Hart's You Can't Take It with You. The film was directed by Frank Capra.

Isn't that Lionel Barrymore from Key Largo on the left ?

When Frank Capra couldn't get Lionel Barrymore to play a sourpuss old villain, he cast Edward Arnold.

Arnold played the evil industrialist in Meet John Doe.

Arnold also played a political boss in Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
