I’m one of the 25 people on the planet who gets next to nothing from ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’. It just doesn’t pull me in very much. The appreciation may be a learned thing.
My family always watched “Miracle on 34th St.” from 1947, with Maureen O’Hara, Edmund Gwenn and a very young Natalie Wood. After that movie, Christmas Season had officially begun in my home. It was, as they now say ‘Settled Science!’
I also do not like Its a Wonderful Life. But I do like Casablanca. I’ve been there, I speak French, and Bogart was somehow pretty hot.
I always thought Pottersville was kinda cool.
We always watched the Alistair Sims "A CHRISTMAS CARROL", which I continued with my family, and which is now shown by the progeny. :-)
“Im one of the 25 people on the planet who gets next to nothing from Its A Wonderful Life.”
I am also one of those 25.
It is easily one of the worst films of all time.
