Sedgwick probably fast-forwards through the part where the Savings and Loan survives with $2 to spare.

Pretty highfalutin conversation there.

Before It’s a Wonderful Life made it big on TV, it was shown during the day and hosted by Tom Bosley. he would interject bits of info about the film. In one scene Pat O’Brien is stumbling away from a party after talking to Jimmy Stewart. Someone dropped something off screen and it sounds like Uncle Billy tripped over trashcans or something. Stewart look in that direction and smiles. It was kept in the film.

Of course, it’s all good Sedgwick, that bedrock principle trumps theft.

Sedgewick as WH counsel.

Thomas Mitchell was probably the greatest character actor of all time. As his bio on IMDb notes: “[his] credits read like a list of the greatest films of the 20th century: Lost Horizon (1937); Stagecoach (1939); The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939); Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939); Gone with the Wind (1939); It’s a Wonderful Life (1946); and High Noon (1952).” I also fondly remember him from Destry (1954), which made a big impression on me as a kid. Mitchell seamlessly made the transition to the new medium of television and enjoyed a long, fruitful career.

Ha, Ha. Love this kid!

Many people don’t realize that “finder’s keepers” is actually illegal in the USA. Anything of value that you find must, by law, be turned in to the Police. If the owner doesn’t turn up in a certain period of time, then and only then, may you claim it is your own (if you can legally own it).

Hmmp….Sedgie must have gone to the same law school as someone whose name I won’t mention for the sake of leaving a nice comic alone but whose initials are potus.

I’m sure his opinion would change if HE left a sum of money somewhere someone else would take it.

No point in trying to argue with Mr. Potter (Young Master), Jarvis. He is always right! —He’d tell you so himself if you asked….
