I remember watching this scene when I was just a child, very very young and I said to myself "this movie's silly. That's stupid. You can't lasso the moon! That's impossible!" :')
Donna Reed is absolutely beautiful...she also generated an inner beauty onscreen that you cant teach in an acting class. Just like James Stewart I think it was just who she was as a person that carried over into the role....I believe James Stewart is qouted as saying that Its a Wonderful Life is his favorite film of all the films he has made
They will never be able to recreate the magic of this film ...Remaking would only be for the greed of commercial success. This film was all heart and soul, teaching what true values are . Its timeless becuase the values and sentiments it teaches are timeless. Too bad we've gone in the opposite direction in this country. There are too many Mr. Potters and not enough George Bailey(s) in the US
This is a really cute scene. I only know it in German because I'm German, and I think we says something completely different in the original version...XD
Are you joking?!?! Well if we're throwing ideas out there, how about Kyle Chandler? He was the lead role on Early Edition, and he's the lead on Friday Night Lights. And there's something about his voice that has always reminded me of Jimmy Stewart. I'd love to see Kyle Chandler. But there's no need to remake this movie. That would be like taking a dump on a priceless piece of art.
maybe when he was younger.. i'd like to see Lee Pace. But if they remade it, i would be HORRIFIED.. there are some movies that should NEVER be remade and this is one of them.
My favorite Christmas movie of all time and this is one of my favorite parts. Thanks for posting! I'd recommend you all watch this sometime around Christmas, it's a great family film.
You are correct, especially in New York...what we have now is porno-relationships and not romantic heartfelt love you see portrayed in this film. But in the film their love was with purpose, she loved George Bailey's qaulities as a man of intergrity. Now those qualities are mocked and ppl with those qualities are called socialists/communist. Today They probably would call Jesus a Communist for feeding the masses and healing ppl without charging a fee
In one scene, the story called for him to spot a potentially fatal error made by a drunken druggist, played by H.B. Warner.
Warner took the role seriously and on day of shooting had been drinking and was "pretty ripe," Victoria Anderson said. The scene called for Warner's character to slap the boy.
Anderson told the LA Times that the scene and rehearsals were painful
TO ALL: LOS ANGELES (AP) - Bob Anderson,who played the young George Bailey in the Christmas classic "It's a Wonderful Life," has died.He was 75.Anderson died Friday of cancer at his home in Palm Springs,his wife, Victoria, said Saturday.the same character portrayed in adulthood by James Stewart.

Why are women such dumb cunts? All they do is want, want, want. Of courge the most "romantic" scene ever is a guy saying he'll get a woman whatever she wants. How about what the GUY wants? I hate women.
This scene is meant to be cute! Its nice to hear a guy say something romantic every once in a while! And humans are very selfish beings by nature: we all want lots of things. You can't say girls are the only ones who want things. Relationships should be about what you BOTH want.
what is it you want zebra0scarf? what'dya want? y..you want the moon? just say the word and ill throw a lasso around it and pull it down. hey thats a pretty good idea. ill give you the moon zebra0scarf. (lol there dream come true..xD)
I wrote a card for a girl one time and on the back of it i drew the moon with a rope around it and then had it tied to the ground with a sign saying "for *name* i give you the moon". It did not win her love....
When inspiration appears, eternity gets something real. That was Hollywood those days...Magic in pure condition. Thanks to Frank, Jimmy and the most beautiful woman I've ever dimensioned, Donna Reed.
