Why is it in my memory that this was a movie we always watched around Christmas time? It is a Christmas movie?
shareMaybe because they have that one Christmas scene in it. Also could be because of the theme of giving they tried to teach.
shareIs "It's a Wonderful Life" really a Christmas movie? Like "The Bells of St. Mary's," there's enough Christmas moments and good cheer for me to classify it as such.
No blah, blah, blah!

We always watch this around Christmas time. It does have a "Christmas scene" part. The overall tone fits with the Christmas spirit...a stingy man becomes benevolent, a family is reunited, and in the end Mother Superior learns the reason she is being sent away and it's not what she thought. But you're right, there's not a lot of actual Christmas stuff in it.
I just showed it Saturday night to my movie group along with HOLIDAY INN (which also only has aa couple of Christmas scenes). It's sort of like BOYS' TOWN and other movies in that it only has one Christmas scene, but it just fits in perfectly during the Christmas season
Life, every now and then, behaves as though it had seen too many bad movies
Holiday Inn is my FAVORITE Christmas movie. I just love the movie and the songs - and that Bing gets the girl at the end....

shareNah, it's a silly sentimental movie that 'exploits' xmas as a way to make the viewers cough up some money...
shareIt was shown at Radio City Music Hall during the Christmas holidays in 1945. Perhaps you may recall seeing "The Bells of St. Mary's" on the marquee as Michael and Kay are leaving, having just exited the theater in "The Godfather."
shareIt was shown playing at a movie theater as George Bailey realized that his life was wonderful on Christmas Eve, so there's that.
