MERRY CHRISTMAS

Frank Capra's It’s a Wonderful Life occupies a unique place in Hollywood history as a film whose reputation grew slowly over time. Initially a modest box-office performer, it later became a cultural touchstone through television broadcasts that introduced it to new generations. The film exemplifies classical studio-era craftsmanship while also revealing postwar anxieties about masculinity, community, and individual worth. Its blend of sentiment, fantasy, and social realism helped broaden what mainstream Hollywood drama could explore. Today, it stands as a defining example of how audience reception can evolve beyond a film’s original release– and how a cursed production doesn't need to destroy a film.

ALTERNATE HISTORY

Did you know that It's a Wonderful Life is the first movie to use CGI? No? Then you probably didn't even know that the set was beleaguered with a man woefully addicted to breakfast burritos. Actor Henry Travers repeatedly gorged himself on the cuisine, either not knowing or not caring about his digestive tract's ability to withhold such punches to the gut.

The result? A movie where James Stewart walked off set, unable to deal with the gaseous assault to his nostrils unloaded from Travers' small intestine. Thus, CGI entered the picture, recreating Stewart's likeness and saving the movie.

The more you know!
