In our little town we have a one screen theater. They show “It’s a Wonderful Life” almost every year sometime during the Christmas season. It’s a pretty cool place to watch it.

Love that....RIP, indeed!

She had a wonderful (and long) life.

She was also the niece of General George Patton, Jr.

I can’t stand the movie and avoid it at XMAS.
There were a few years it was on all the time on every channel because the copyright had lapsed and stations could show it without paying for it. Then RKO finally renewed it.

Potter was a Capitalist and Bailey was a Socialist

Now, THAT would be a theater I’d love to watch IAWL, on the big screen, at Christmastime.

Sounds very quaint and I imagine your town knows how to celebrate Christmas, in a beautiful way.

I hated it that Potter got away with his crime

Not in the alternate ending....

Zuzu is still alive and appears at movie conventions.

An absolute masterpiece of movie making.

Always thought Scott was physically miscast as Scrooge (who should be wizened) but that version was truer to Dickens’ vision then any others I’ve seen.

Incidentally, we recently lost the actor who played Cratchit (David Warner).

So selling homes to hard-working, contributing members of society is ‘socialism’?

This was the last ADULT cast member.

I forget ZUZU’s real name but she lives (lived?) near us and my wife bought a photo of the scene with Jimmy Stewart giving her the flower petal which she signed for her. One of our favorite movies.
