I like the record player connected to the spit. And hadn't noticed in initial scene between George and Clarence, there's a clothes line that perfectly separates the two characters from each other. It looks everso sparkly on Blu-Ray. Cried in all the usual places.
Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett were commissioned by Capra to write the screenplay from Philip Van Doren Stern's short story 'The Greatest Gift' (First Edition $8800) - it certainly seems to be 'A Christmas Carol' to me. Then they found out to their great annoyance that Capra and Jo Swerling were also working on it, and the last nail was when Capra called Frances 'My good woman ' - which you didn't do to Frances. They quit the project. Later Michael Wilson also worked on it ('a polish') and Dorothy Parker ('a dialogue polish').
