Movie Review - It's A Wonderful Life
It's A Wonderful Life (1946)
directed by Frank Capra
rating: 5 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from the vaults
I like to think that George Bailey could have been a great man in Pottersville just as easily as Bedford Falls - that it isn't the gambling joints and the neon signs so much as his abject loneliness that makes the new world such a nightmare. Even the angels get to be sad in Capra's films, grounded just enough in life to help.
