It's a Wonderful Life
(1946)
Huh! I am surprised to see that last year I had the same idea for the post title, and further surprised to see that last year I got the quotation wrong.What I noticed this year that I don't recall ever noticing before: it's obvious that Mary Hatch's wish when she breaks the glass in the old house is that George's plans for his life should be fucked in favor of hers, but did I ever realize before that the immediate effect is to kill Peter Bailey? He must have his fatal stroke at just about the moment she flings her rock. Jesus, she's Medea! If George had run off to New York w/ Violet, we can pretty much guess what would have happened to the kids.
