For Adults
The Making of “It’s a Wonderful Life”
Sunday, December 15 from 2-3:30 pm at the Carnegie Library
“It’s a Wonderful Life” is one of the most popular motion pictures ever made. James Stewart and Frank Capra proclaimed this classic to be their personal favorite. The charming and, at times, harrowing story of George Bailey and his life-altering tribulations in Bedford Falls are well known. Join Sal St. George for this wonderful lecture and discussion of the complex backstory of how “It’s a Wonderful Life” came to fruition.
