Reply #8: question about potter....

[pretzel4gore]

strangely he reminds me of FDR (his reading glasses) and he was wheelchair bound. George Bailey did represent the good, but 'Bedford Falls' was also very stiffnecked and whitebread (though there were ethnic types 'marino' for ex)....when george runs through 'pottersville' during his fantasy time, the old town actually looked a lot more fun and interesting then before! Hollywood in the years 'It's a Wonderful life' was made operated under a whole bunch of secretive 'codes' such as -the bad guy ALWAYS got nailed in the end-no nudity- no bad language, etc
and while hitlerism was still so fresh at the time what passes as anti fascism today was maybe just necessity then...within a few years, the long haul towards bushevikism would resume (darn them nazis??)
