A Wonderful Life: Visiting Jimmy Stewart’s life, museum
Once again this Christmas season, countless Americans sat down to watch Frank Capra’s Christmas classic, It’s a Wonderful Life, starring the great Jimmy Stewart. I’ve seen the movie plenty of times. So why did it leave me crying again this year?
Yet it did, from the moment a desperate George Bailey cried out to his shop-worn guardian angel that he wanted to live again, all the way through “Auld Lang Syne.”
Stirred by that experience and curious as to what prompted it, I decided to do something I had wanted to do for years.
