A new book will delve into the making of the timeless classic It's A Wonderful Life and its lasting impact on American culture.
It’s A Wonderful Life is the definition of a timeless classic. Directed by three-time Oscar winner Frank Capra and starring the beloved leading man James Stewart —the first film for both men after serving in World War II—the movie has continued to grow in esteem since its release in 1946. When the movie’s copyright lapsed in 1974, it became a go-to holiday broadcast for television and cable companies, allowing the film to seep deeply into the American consciousness.
” “It’s A Wonderful Life is one of my favorite films ever made, yes, but it’s also a rich exploration of how America sees itself, one that reveals new layers with every passing year,” says St. James, whose previous books include Back To The Island: The Complete Critical Companion To Lost and Monsters Of The Week: The Complete Critical Companion To The X-Files.
