It's A Wonderful Life (1946)

The scene in which Stewart freaks out his family is key; and the one everybody relates to, giving the film its special power.

Robert J Anderson is perfect as the young George Bailey.

Lillian Randolph has the best line: "I've been saving for a divorce in case I ever get a husband."

Francesco Capra is the most (and least) famous Sicilian. I wonder if the combat footage shown is his own?

My Christmas text to Tom: "Just watched IAWL. Cried in the usual places."
