Here’s my very favorite scene from the best-loved Christmas classic of all, It’s a Wonderful Life

There are so many great moments in that film. What can I say? I have to admit I am a fan. A lot of people hate that film.
Oh, Bah Humbug to those people, Rhea! It’s a great film, the favorite of its star and director, and much loved by many.
Hey, Nell. While not my favorite scene in “It’s A Wonderful Life,” the first telephone scene always reminds me that no actor has ever (before or since) done better telephone scenes than Jimmy Stewart. So natural that he doesn’t seem to be acting. Ditto for his drunk scenes.
Alas, I’ve seen “It’s a Wonderful Life” too many times, and can no longer watch it.
