One Shot: Missing the Point of It‘s a Wonderful Life
from Fifteen Minute Film Fanatics · host Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics
Every December, Mike and Dan argue about the most beloved of Christmas films: Frank Capra's 1946 masterpiece, It's a Wonderful Life. Like all good people, Dan finds the movie charming, affirming, and a welcome reminder of life's many blessings. Mike, however, walks home from his counting house, muttering about the "leeches" (his word) who inhabit Bedford Falls. Humbug! So walk into Nick's, order a flaming rum punch (heavy on the cinnamon and light on the cloves) and give it a listen!
