It wouldn't be Christmas for me without watching It's a Wonderful Life. If you don't cry you just don't have a heart. But I realised the movie has one flaw. In the end ole man Potter got away with stealing the $8,000 that Uncle Billy misplaced.

My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events.

No he didnt. Many years ago on Saturday Night Live They did a spoof that showed the George Baily character, Beating the living snot out of old man Potter:)

After watching online as the gang at WGN Radio did it as a live radio play in their studio (with special guest star, the original Zuzu, as Zuzu), I realized I never did see the whole movie. I have no regrets.

Later, I head an interview with Zuzu. She said at the time, her family didn't go to movies, so she never saw it until years later when it was on TV. She was walking by and heard herself, and spun around and said "That's me!"
