One of my favorites

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2000)

I watch this movie every year and never get tired of it. I think it is Capra's best work and I'm happy to see it is appreciated more now than when he made it. All of the acting is perfect.
One quirky thing to note is Capra's subjective use of time and crowds. For example when Uncle Billy is at the bank window, a crowd suddenly appears behind him when he can't find the deposit money. Similarly, when George tries to get Violet to go on a romantic (to him) romp through nature, a crowd suddenly forms when she ridicules him. Same with Mr. Gower in the bar.
