I am a old movie buff. Every Christmas I watch "It Is A Wonderful Life." Produced 1946 actors, James Steward, Donna Reed and Lionel Barrymore. Post WWII movie that was the way dating, love and marriage was suppose to be. The wife played by, Donna Reed married a high school mate. The man she loved. Even though she had the opportunity to marry a man of greater financial means. With love, respect and honesty they settled in one home raised their kids. George was a honest business man. Surprisingly, he the community banker. They did not have much financially but had wealthy family unity and community friends. Mr. Bailey played , Lionel Barrymore was the heartless community banker. The owner of "Potter's Field". Clarence, the angel trying to earn his wings had to show George how his life had graced everyone that knew him. Through Hollywood magic George was shown what life would have been if he had never been born. After this visual experience via Clarence, George was happy and grateful to be alive. The end of the film the whole community knew George was in a financial bind and could be facing prison time. Family and the whole community rushed to George's aid offering what ever they could spare. Therefore, George was considered "The Wealthiest Man In Town." This is a magical movie.
