The sno wbound streets of Bedford Falls\, the desperate travails of George Bailey\ , and the discovery of Zuzu&rsquo\;s petals have become traditional signat ures of the holiday season. Yet when the film was released in 1946\, it wa s a box-office flop\, won no Academy Awards\, and was largely forgotten&md ash\;until it was rediscovered through endless airings on local TV station s beginning in the 1970s and on annual Christmas eve broadcasts on NBC sta rting in 1992. This talk will examine the fascinating story of "It&rsquo\; s a Wonderful Life\," looking at the challenges of how it was made\, its s urprisingly dark portrait of small-town life\, and how it became the ultim ate portrayal of holiday goodwill and cheer.
