It's a Wonderful Life (1946)?
Trivia:
In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked this as the #20 Greatest Movie of All Time. `~7544~` often said that this was his favorite of all his films. Debuted a week after `~William Wyler~`'s @%The Best Years of Our Lives%@, which explained why this movie was a disappointment at the box office and at the Academy Awards. `~1299~` was nervous about the phone scene kiss because it was his first screen kiss since his return to Hollywood after the war. Under `~7544~`'s watchful eye, Stewart filmed the scene in only one unrehearsed take, and it worked so well that part of the embrace was cut because it was too passionate to pass the censors. In the original script, Clarence confronts Potter about what he did to George. It was to take place right after Potter yelled, "And Happy New Year to you, in jail!" `~5116~` was considered for the part of Mr. Potter. The set for Bedford Falls was constructed in two months and was one of the longest sets that had ever been made for an American movie. It covered four acres of the RKO's Encino Ranch. It included 75 stores and buildings, main street, factory district and a large residential and slum area. The Main Street was 300 yards long, three whole city blocks! The gym floor that opens up to reveal a swimming pool was real and was located at Beverly Hills High School in Los Angeles. Originally ended with @#Ode to Joy#@, not @#Auld Lang Syne#@. For the scene that required `~7545~` to throw a rock into the window of the Granville House, `~7544~` hired a marksman to shoot it out for her on cue. To everyone's amazement, `~7545~` broke the window with true aim and heft without the assistance of the hired marksman! During the scene when Uncle Billy knocks over a trashcan, his cries "I'm all right! I'm all right" were ad-libbed by `~2218~`. The actual noise was made by a clumsy stagehand knocking over equipment but it sounded so authentic to `~7544~` he left it in; he still had it augmented though with added sound effects. `~6490~` was offered the role of Mary, but turned it down.
