The very definition of a CLICKBAIT “article”.

Oh, is it one of those? Where you have to click next constantly?

Thanks for the warning, I won’t even go there. I do love the movie though so I was intrigued

First movie Jimmy Stewart made after WW2 - you can see/tell in his character the agony he was suffering right after the war. I hated the movie until I found that out.

Never liked it. Love the actors and the acting. Not the story.

I’m with you. Sometimes I would like to read the article, but awhile back I started to realize my time was too valuable to be clicking for 15-30 slides. To heck with them if they can’t put it on one or two pages.

Just curious why you didn’t like the story? No animosity, just curiosity. I’ve always loved the story, as well as the acting.

When Mr. Stewart passed on a few years ago, on the front of the New York Post had the “It Was A Wonderful Life.” Had picture of him.

Christmas In Connecticut is better anyway.

Hard to go wrong with Babs Stanwyck.

There is always Die Hard. My wife has never seen it. It’s a favorite of mine.

I watched the movie a couple of weeks ago. I had to laugh when Harry Bailey gave Annie a big slap on the backside in a teasing gesture because she was being nosy. Sexual harassment as well as racism. Good ol’ days.

I highly recommend the current movie, “The Man Who Invented Christmas”, about how Dickens created the book.
