This 1946 post-war black and white melodrama about the tenuous American dream became a Christmas classic when its copyright expired and television channels could play it for free in the 1970s. There’s your American dream right there.
Xthnru reminds us about the gist of this life-or-death feel-good cinematic failure in the quotey “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (Clarence’s Regret Remix)“. Yeah, it’s upsetting, especially, without the intervention.
Glenn Crytzer uses his big band sound to deliver the message that “It’s a Wonderful Life” during Christmas despite all your misgivings. Tepidly terrific, dropping movie clues throughout..
Robbie Williams (feat. Poppa Pete) is more obscure when assuring us “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Just jazz band hyperbole, but can’t help making the association.
A heartfelt tribute to the pain of life, “Clarence” by The Felice Brothers layers fiddling folk all over the succotash of bankers banking, bathroom stall graffiti, and angels’ relief at not being alive. Spiraling.
“George Bailey” by Carolyn Sills is awesome cowboy pop that takes Mary’s side and slams out a love ballad. That’s what that movie’s about, kids.
