He was just four when he made that movie? Right? I'll bet he can't even remember making it.

With something that BIG I would disagree....Its not everyday you're put in a situation like that.When you see him in the movie he had a lot to do and say. Besides, in the interview he said he did remember things.

Great Movie and great characters

"WONDERFUL" movie

I don't think the characters could have been better. Frank Capra said the only thing he would have changed if he could do it over was....In the part of the movie when George Bailey "gets his wish" that he was never born...He would have made the Donna Reed character Mary Bailey,

stronger, not a old maid librarian...His thought was that a women so dedicated in getting George Bailey would have been more independant. A "Watch Me Roar".

kind of women.

That's an interesting thought on his part melonstreet.

However, my view on it is that she was so much in love with George that she wouldn't have wanted anyone else, therefore been the old maid librarian.

I think Capra (on second thought) thought

that if George Bailey weren't around she would have channeled that drive somewhere else.

Interesting thought. Capra first saw it like you did. Without George she wasn't that Mary. Oh well....
