There are some days when I feel like I need to watch It's A Wonderful Life. Today's a day like that. It's a day when I wonder if the Buffalo gals will come out tonight, come out tonight, and dance by the light of the moon. It's a day when two clever friends who are getting rained on say to each other, "Hurry up! This is their honeymoon!" "What are they? Ducks?"
Donna Reed and Jimmy Stewart are ab fab. How I love them. Truly, dear.
And Clarence the angel. He's so good. I suppose he should be. He's an angel.
And Mr. Gower and his drug store...remember him? The actor was H. B. Warner and he played the part of Jesus Christ in a movie (The King of Kings). In the documentary it says that H.B. couldn't get a job after the Jesus role because he was type cast. But I looked him up and he's got all kinds of good movies under his very slim belt.
I suppose it just proves how fantastic the Bailey Brothers Building and Loan is. They can retroactively get a guy a purty good career. And he gets to work with Jimmy Stewart a couple of times. Ooooo la la.
alternate husbands
I have a list of alternate husbands. They're people that I'd get in contact with if BrilliantEditor ever boots me onto the street. One of them is Jimmy Stewart. I don't think he'd take me in, though. I think he's dead. He is, nevertheless, on the list. With Cary Grant and Gene Kelly. Also dead, I believe.
