I'm glad they did, It's a Wonderful Life became one of my all time favorite movies.
The best Christmas movies ever made:
1. It’s a Wonderful Life
2. White Christmas
3. Holiday Inn
4 Christmas in Conneticut
5. The Bishop’s Wife
A 1919 Dodge Brothers? That’s great. I suspect that it was chosen for authenticity. It was prudent at the story’s time setting, to buy what was known as incredibly great and reliable cars, and buying a 2nd, or 3rd, or even 5th hand Dodge was still a better buy than buying a Ford or Chevrolet of the time.
The Dodge Brothers built what was then the best, the most reliable, most durable, or at least very close to it, that money could buy. After the Dodge brothers died, the company went downhill.
It’s awesome to see the depth of thought and authenticity that went into movies back then... When they wanted to.
I have to agree. “Its a Wonderful Life” is one of my if not my most favorite Christmas movie. Interesting about the 1919 Dodge touring car.
