The Frank Capra film "It’s A Wonderful Life" premiered at the Globe Theatre in New York on this day in 1946.
Time said, "It’s a Wonderful Life is a pretty wonderful movie. It has
only one formidable rival (Goldwyn’s The Best Years of Our Lives)
as Hollywood’s best picture of the year. Director Frank Capra’s inventiveness, humor, and affection for human beings keep it
glowing with life and excitement."
