I had heard about this film...many times..."It's a Wonderful Life"...Jimmy Stewart...& had never seen it...
so.........I got a 16mm print at the downtown Chicago Public Library in the 70s sometime...and showed it to myself............... ..(long before video tapes.) on a screen with a 16mm projector that I had got from my aunt.....................

and when it was over....I cried for the first time ....out of HAPPINESS.......or ..........HAPPY TEARS.....

and it was ...WONDERFUL..!!!!!! this film almost had me crying happy tears again...
