Review # 1 was written on 2021-02-12 00:00:00 Irina Degtyareva It's A Wonderful Life is my favorite Christmas movie- my sister and I watch it every year on Thanksgiving. I'll admit that I sometimes watch it at other times of the year too, especially when I'm needing a little "Christmas cheer" in like June or July. I've seen this movie at least 50 times and this book pointed out things that I had missed, even with my multiple viewings. The author did their research of not only the movie but some behind the scene stuff too. I also like that they pointed out gaffes (some that I had missed) and gave some historical background to events or things mentioned in the movie. I think any fan of the movie would enjoy this book. Even if you have only seen it once (or never seen it), the author describes the scenes pretty thoroughly. There is a quiz in the back of the book that I didn't ace (and I thought I knew the movie so well) but it made for fun trivia. During the holidays next year, I'll give the quiz to my sister before we watch the movie to see how many she gets right. This book was recommend in a Facebook group that I belong to dedicated to It's a Wonderful Life fans. So, thank you random internet stranger for letting me know about it!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-03 00:00:00 William Stephens I read this after seeing the movie on the big screen at The Admiral Theater and hearing "Zuzu" talk about the movie. This is a pretty fun trivia book for fans of the movie. There's a tough quiz at the end. I thought I knew the movie really well, but I sure didn't ace the quiz!
