Back in the summer of 1946, Jimmy Stewart and Frank Capra made a Christmas movie. Upon its release that winter, It's A Wonderful Life was a box-office afterthought. Nominated for best picture, it lost to the war film The Best Years Of Our Lives. But since then—thanks in large part to the fact that It's A Wonderful Life fell into the public domain due to a clerical error—the film has become the picture Frank Capra always knew it could, one of the greatest ever made.On this special episode of Writing While Handicapped, presented by the Authors On The Air Global Radio Network, join Jimmy Hawkins, who played the youngest of George and Mary Bailey's children, Tommy, His book, The Heart Of It's A Wonderful Life, is out now, and Jimmy is eager to tell you what it was like to be at the studio with these Hollywood greats way back when!And a merry Christmas from all of us at Authors On The Air to all of you!
