May 4, 2023: Someone praying

“It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946)

Apparently Jimmy Stewart’s tears in this scene were unscripted and unexpected.

“As I said those words,” Stewart said in 1977, “I felt the loneliness, the hopelessness of people who had nowhere to turn, and my eyes filled with tears. I broke down sobbing. That was not planned at all.”

@tiamat271 I adore this film and that one scene resonates so much with me. Never before or since have I identified with a film character as much as I do with George Bailey. 😥
