Movies in retrospect, viz-a-viz 'It's a Wonderful Life.'

Rating: 4/10 (29 December 2016)

I never really watched the whole movie all the way through; The only thing I remember is that there was a pharmacy & pharmacist in the plot(George Bailey?Right?) -- Or something like that -- I'm a retired Pharmacist so it attracted my attention. I was born in 1941, and this movie was made in 1947, so I was only 6 y.o.a. when this classic came out. Interestingly, Direct TV had it as a pay-per-view item(?), and I never really thought it was that good??!!(Or that people would PAY to watch it??!!). I prefer to watch something like 'Ben Hur,' or 'King of Kings,' for the religious aspect of the holidays. More to the point, I adore 'Ben Hur,' and think it's one of the most beautiful movies ever made. And, lest I forget, a Billie Wilder of note, the 'Big Country,' is by far my favorite of all time -- Jean Simmons & Gregory Peck worked well together, along with Charleton Heston, making this movie a classic of all classics, especially in the Western category.
