If you remember in the movie, Jimmy's character is 4-F because he ruptured his eardrum rescuing his kid brother. He's very sad about this---until his kid brother saves a whole bunch of men in the war (which never would have happened if not for Jimmy's character, George Banks). The movie shows us that the impact we make on earth is great though we seldom see or feel it in our lifetime, because we do not know what to look for. Simple human goodness, looking out for our brothers and sisters on the journey, is what it's all about--and IAWL tells that better than any movie before or since.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324176019881275668.post-25298529794750830912007-08-19T07:49:00.000-07:002007-08-19T07:49:00.000-07:00He was the favorite actor of both my wife and I be...He was the favorite actor of both my wife and I before we even knew he was in the Air Corps.<BR/><BR/>Our favorite movies of his are the Hitchcock's: Vertigo, Rear Window and The Man who Knew too Much. Followed by Philadelphia Story and, of course, It's a Wonderful Life.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the heads up about the stamps!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03132499731505759149noreply@blogger.com
