The scene where Jimmy Stewart on the bridge crying was actual, he was remembering his WW2 flying buddies; then too, there's a great ending on Youtube by the SNL crew where Potter gets his just rewards.
PS: It's A Wonderful Life was not meant as a Christmas movie.
Great score! You have some great additional trivia about this movie.
That is my favorite version of A Christmas Carol, too. It’s the most authentic to the story.
