It's A Wonderful Life

Halo Stickman · 24 December, 2013

Probably the schmaltziest film ever made – yet still gets me welling up every damn time I watch it.

Number 1 on the Essential Christmas Viewing list?

Oh dear looks like the US security lot will keep a very close eye on you lot if you go to the US :lol:

When that film came out, the FBI labelled it as subversive - a vessel for communist propaganda.

During the Red Scare after World War II, FBI informants claimed the film's portrayal of wealthy banker Mr Potter

as a greedy villain was a sure sign of communist influence.

Recently-published FBI documents also reveal that investigators had their eye on 'It's a Wonderful Life' and

screenwriters Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich, a husband and wife duo who were accused of associating

with known communists.
