[Jeff Westover]

hi @Duane - Tinsel Tunes

 

[drseuss1217]

just the edmund gwyn version for me

 

[MerryCarey]

I'm with you on that.

 

[MerryCarey]

For extra points, you can read the book!

 

[Jeff Westover]

Drew, do you find yourself researching information about classics like the old Miracle?

 

[drseuss1217]

moreso " Its a wonderful life" that is my favorite Christma and overall movie ever so i do look up trivia or deleted scene info on that movie

 

[Meceka]

Love the book, @MerryCarey.

 

[Jeff Westover]

It's a Wonderful Life is something we could do a whole separate chat about

 

[drseuss1217]

i'm down for that!

 

[Jeff Westover]

I was reading the other day and did you know they originally offered George Bailey to Cary Grant?

 

[drseuss1217]

they did and Vincent price was offered Mr Potter

 

[MerryCarey]

Drew, have you heard the CD that includes music cut from the final cut? The release date was moved forward, and there wasn't enough time to lay in all the music.

 

[Jeff Westover]

Vincent Price would have been believable

 

[Jeff Westover]

Not sure Cary Grant could have done what Jimmy Stewart did

 

[drseuss1217]

i did hear about that CD!

 

[MerryCarey]

There's a great book by (don't hold me to the spelling) Jeanine Bassinger on the making of "IAWL." She had access to Frank Capra's papers. Lots of good film history in that book!

 

[Jeff Westover]

Oooh....I'll have to look that book up

 

[David99]

Any fans of A Christmas Carol the 2009 version with Jim Carrey

 

[MerryCarey]

Cary Grant is less of an "everyman." Anyone can relate to Jimmy Stewart.

a Christmas eve must for me with its a wonderful life
