Riskin is definitely the reason for the feel of the movie. He wrote most of the best Capra films.<br /><br />I had not heard of the Wellman Blogathon! Thanks for letting me know! I will definitely have to join :)Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726532398377237606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603100249483133100.post-38842439642716934132015-07-16T19:10:36.688-04:002015-07-16T19:10:36.688-04:00You're welcome :)You're welcome :)Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726532398377237606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603100249483133100.post-87855044164267550142015-07-15T16:47:02.256-04:002015-07-15T16:47:02.256-04:00I was thinking of writing on this film for the blo...I was thinking of writing on this film for the blogathon, but you beat me to it! I think that speech you've picked out really shows up how patronising the Rip Smith character is until he learns his lesson. James Stewart is great in this, as usual, in a slightly less sympathetic role than some of his characters.<br /><br />As a Wellman fan, I bought this on DVD some time ago but was infuriated to see that his name wasn't even mentioned on the sleeve - glad to see that you have given him his due and included that great photo of him with Stewart and Wyman. Though I'd have to admit it probably feels more like Capra (who I love too) than Wellman, and that has to be down to Riskin!<br /><br />Don't know if you've heard that there's a Wellman blogathon coming up - I'm not organising it but have signed up to write a piece. Just in case you're interested, here is the link:<br />https://nowvoyaging.wordpress.com/2015/07/10/announcing-the-william-wellman-blogathon/ Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09688113363803443338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603100249483133100.post-16881654376687388172015-07-14T23:01:15.856-04:002015-07-14T23:01:15.856-04:00Oh boy – it's been several years since I saw t...Oh boy – it's been several years since I saw this on TCM, and you've made me want to see it again. Happily, it is available for streaming.

I'm a Capra fan and a James Stewart fan -- not to mention William Wellman! -- and this one sounds like a real must-see. Thank you so much for this fabulous contribution to the blogathon, and for giving me yet another movie that I'll be looking for right away!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
