The 1946 holiday classic had been shown every Christmas Eve at the Palo Alto movie house since 1989, until COVID-19 broke the streak in 2020.
It looks like mean old Mr. Potter is winning again, as the Stanford Theatre has announced it won’t have its traditional Christmas Eve screening of “It’s a Wonderful Life” for the third year in a row.
“It’s a Wonderful Life,” the Frank Capra-directed 1946 holiday classic, had been an annual event at the Stanford Theatre since its reopening in 1989, consistently playing to a sold-out house on Dec. 24. Some fans lamented the news on Facebook, expressing their willingness to bring blankets to the unheated theater rather than miss George Bailey’s struggle with faith for another year, while others said they would just look forward to being back next year.
