MERRY CHRISTMAS!

IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET EVERYONE TO AGREE OR DISAGREE ABOUT ANY ONE MOVIE, BUT YOU CAN'T GET MUCH CLOSER THAN THE IMMORTAL HOLIDAY FILM IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.

SURE, OPINIONS DIFFER, ESPECIALLY IN TASTES IN MOVIES, BUT SOMEHOW, THIS FILM SEEMS TO TRANSCEND. IT WAS PRODUCED FOR A RELATIVELY SMALL BUDGET OF $3 MILLION.

BUT DID YOU KNOW THE FILM WAS A HUGE BOMB WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT IN 1946? THE FILM WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR A RELEASE IN EARLY 1947. BUT THE STUDIO, RKO, WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE FILM, AND DECIDED TO RELEASE IT IN THE LAST PART OF 1946, SO AS TO QUALIFY IT FOR THE ACADEMY AWARDS IN 1947. (ONE WONDERS WHY SUCH A CHRISTMASSY FILM WOULD NOT BE RELEASED IN DECEMBER ANYWAY???)

YES, THIS MAGICAL FILM TANKED WHEN ORIGINALLY RELEASED. THIS IS UNBELEIVABLE ENOUGH, AS IT WAS SUCH A MARVELOUS FILM, PLUS THE OPTIMISM OF THESE EARLY POST-WORLD WAR TWO DAYS SEEMED PERFECT TIMING. BUT TO TOP IT OFF, RKO MADE DONNA REED THE SCAPEGOAT(!!!!!!!)
