Its a Wonderful Life

 I felt like this would be the perfect movie for Thanksgiving. "It's a Wonderful Life" is a heart touching story about a man named George Baily,(James Stewart)and his life in his hometown of Bedford falls. The movie shows George's life growing up in the small town all the way until he becomes an adult.
George has done so much for the town, but when he falls on hard times, George wishes he never existed. An angel hears George and grants him his wish. When he walks back to town, Bedford Falls is a dirty trashy mess. Finally George realizes his mistake and understands how one person can make such a difference.

The film was directed by Frank Capra and produced in 1946. It was nominated for five Oscars and won five other awards.
This movie was shot in California, but something that is kind of cool is in the movie, there is a scene at a high school dance, where George meets his future wife, Mary Hatch (Donna Reed). In the scene, everyone is dancing and someone presses a button that makes the dance floor open up into a swimming pool. Every one dancing jumps in, and the high school this was filmed at was Beverly Hills High School in CA.

Always,
Avery
