Halo Stickman Posted 24 December, 2013 Share Posted 24 December, 2013 Probably the schmaltziest film ever made – yet still gets me welling up every damn time I watch it. Number 1 on the Essential Christmas Viewing list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint in Paradise Posted 25 December, 2013 Share Posted 25 December, 2013 Oh dear looks like the US security lot will keep a very close eye on you lot if you go to the US :lol: When that film came out, the FBI labelled it as subversive - a vessel for communist propaganda. During the Red Scare after World War II, FBI informants claimed the film's portrayal of wealthy banker Mr Potter as a greedy villain was a sure sign of communist influence. Recently-published FBI documents also reveal that investigators had their eye on 'It's a Wonderful Life' and screenwriters Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich, a husband and wife duo who were accused of associating with known communists. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2528752/Was-Its-Wonderful-Life-really-communist-propaganda-FBI-investigated-classic-Christmas-film.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
