It’s a Wonderful Life is on TV tonight.

I also loved Gone WTW and the Bogart movies.

King's Row, 1942

This was supposed to be a Robert Cummings movie as Jack Warner saw it. But Reagan stole the film right out from under him. Cummings was not leading man material, and he hit his stride on TV in the Fifties. It's astonishing that Jack Warner didn't see that.

The punch line came in 1966 when Reagan announced for governor of California. Upon being apprised of this fact, Jack Warner thought a bit and said, "No, Bob Cummings for governor, and Reagan for best friend." It still amazes me that a mogul as savvy as Warner could have made that big a mistake.
