Of course I didn’t see it until four or five years ago, but when I did. my mind was blown. My heart was warmed. Frank Capra knew his stuff. One of Jimmy Stewart’s finest performances.  Everything about this film is solid gold.

Yes, It’s A Wonderful Life is in black and white. Yes, it is old. But it is a classic. I think the reason this film in particular touches so many people, is the fact that at some point in our lives, we have all felt like George Bailey or Mary Hatch. He’s a relatable guy. She’s every girl … their story is sweet and sincere and pure. His personal struggles and thoughts hit us because we have had those same struggles and thoughts. The themes covered in in this film are as relevant today as they were back in 1946.  

I wasted hours of my life on Gone With The Wind and Titanic. This may seem like one of those movies to you. I am here to assure you – It. Is. Not.

This is a movie you will be so so happy to have seen. The telephone scene between George and Mary is worth the two-hour screening alone. It’s on Saturday night on NBC. Or rent it, or buy it, but see this film! It’s already December 5^th. Get into the spirit, people.

Let me know how you liked it!
