It's a Wonderful Life [was: shhhhh]

[Guest guest]

I first saw " It's a Wonderful Life " in the theater when I was too young to

remember the name of the movie and before Late Nite TV started recycling

feature-length films (anyone else remember " Donovan's Brain " on Shock

Theater?). Heck, it was before anyone in Eastern North Carolina owned a

TV--didn't need 'em, no TV broadcast stations. I was entranced. All

movies except the Sunday blockbusters were black and white, so that was no

drawback.

Did I mention that I was entranced? It was the MOST wonderful movie I'd

ever seen, better even than " Miracle on 34th Street " with Maureen O'Hara,

Wood, and Payne. And Santa Claus, the real one. Okay, he

thought he was Kris Kringle, but he was really Santa.

Back to " It's a Wonderful Life. " Jimmy made me believe. When I

saw the movie again years later on TV, my thought was, " THERE's that

movie! I didn't dream it! " I still love it. My 40-year-old son can

recite parts of the script verbatim. He owns the black and white video;

wouldn't dream of viewing the Colorized version, but you can if you

need a color movie.

If you do decide to watch, I hope you enjoy it as much as I and all the

other fans through the years have enjoyed it.
