I have to tell you my "tale of woe" on It's a Wonderful Life. Did not see it for the first time until 1990.

the setting.. it was new years eve.. In the past 2 weeks... My dad died, I separated from my husband, decided to close my successful commercial real estate business & go to a chaplaincy residency & was moving from the sunny south to the dreary north (in winter).

My date for the evening was an interesting/nice man..(fixed up by one of my seminary profs) we were at the home of one of my grad school profs & it was a small group.

Two days later my date committed suicide.

The movie since has left me cold

Oh my, that is very, very sad, Dolly. I am so sorry.
