Ok, I suspect I understand why perfectly intelligent people like this film, but honestly I cannot stand it. Basically, I loathe it. Stewart is annoying as hell all the way through; one of his worst performances. The film itself was shot like a frickin’ television show; just pedestrian. It’s absolutely phony sentimental crap.In case you were wondering, here’s as much of the timeline I could find for It’s a Wonderful Life.
1911 — Harry Bailey born.
1919 — Saturday, 3rd May: Emil Gower receives a telegram informing him that his son has died from influenza.
December: Harry Bailey drowns while sledding, OR is saved by his brother George, (alternate timeline-dependent).
1929 — Tuesday, 29th October: George Bailey & Mary Hatch marry; The Bailey Building & Loan manages to stay open with only $2 left, due to the stock market crash and subsequent run on the banks.
1945 — Monday 24th December: George Bailey decides to live again. (Bedford Falls, New York)
