Good classic but some questions:

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2019)

I think the characters 'never' grow old. At least Mr Potter, already old in 1919 when he went to the Bailey & Loan to inquire about his investments, would had been almost a hundred when the movie was ending by 1945. Also I think losing $8,000 bucks by Uncle Billy was an unforgiving mistake. A real case our hero, George Bailey, would had demanded action like firing him from the job permanently even if he was saved by his neighbors with donations. Mr Potter was right calling him an idiot & a loser at the beginning. About the existence of God & angels, I leave the public to decide. Very religious people will see a 'miracle" & more skeptical ones will see the story as some allegory, or that George Bailey was sleeping on the bridge dreaming.
