IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE❗️
You don’t get casts like this anymore. Stars and great supporting performers.
How many can you identify and who is missing!

I just watched this for the how-manyeth time this week. The film, like George Bailey’s life, is wonderful, and the cast is incredible. IMDb lists 116 cast members. Some of the ones you don’t show are:
Lillian Randolph – Annie, the maid
J. Farrell MacDonald – the man whose tree George plows into
Stanley Andrews – the schoolteacher’s husband who punches George
Franklin Albertson – Sam Wainwright, who enjoys the “Heehaw” routine more than I do
Al Bridge – the guy at the house to arrest George. He was a Preston Sturges regular.
Dick Elliott – the man on the porch telling George to kiss Donna Reed
The great Charles Lane – Potter’s “smart young man” rent collector
Ellen Corby – the woman George kisses when she asks for a reasonable amount of money during the run on the Building and Loan
Charles Halton – the testy bank examiner
Todd Karns – Harry Bailey, George’s brother. IMDb says that he was the son of Roscoe Karns, another fine actor. I would have expected Todd to have had a better career.
As always, I love your postings. Have a Happy New Year.
Well done. Thanks for all the extra names. Will try to get pictures of them all.
Happy New Year!
The magic of this film has always eluded me but I realise I am in a minority! Happy New Year.
Funny how it’s become a Xmas staple even though it wasn’t a big success on first release.
Amazingly I’ve had 300 views over the last week on the piece I wrote on young George Bailey.
