More sleet, ice, rain ! and just miserable weather. So the movie watching continues.
Last night it was "It's A Wonderful Life" (1946) The ordinary life of an ordinary man. It reminds me so much of my father, and so many fathers in our neighborhood. They just got up and did what needed to be done, with all the worries and burdens of life in the depression era. We see so many 'hero' films these days, but to my mind, George Bailey and the men like my father, were true heros. Takes grit to keep on keeping on.

James Stewart was just perfect in this role. The whole cast was very good. It is no wonder it has stood the test of time and is still played numerous times during the Holidays.
