Its a Wonderful Life

We generally watch "Its a Wonderful Life" every Christmas season, and Monday night we did so again while decorating the tree. This movie is on my list of "The Greatest Movies of All Time." It seems that I never tire of watching it. Kinda like the Andy Griffith shows that I never get weary of watching. Of course, when you watch one over and over, you notice things that didn't hit you so much on earlier viewings. Like the time when George Bailey was talking with Mr. Potter, and Mr. Potter offered him a job. George said he wanted 24 hours to think about it, and THEN he shook Mr. Potter's hand! And after he did, he looked at his hand, like it had been soiled somewhow. And then, he wipes it off on his coat, as if to remove some of the filth. And then there is the scene (see top photo) where George and Mary are both trying to talk on the same phone, and they get close to each other. So much passion! So much energy! Then George is just inches away from Mary (maybe only one inch) and he tells her he doesn't want any ground floors, or plastics, and he NEVER wants to get married--but he kisses Mary over and over. That's the kind of kiss George only talked about earlier when he was wearing the No. 3 jersey and looking at the moon with Mary. That's what I'm talking about.
