Always presented as an American "Christmas Carole". Frank Capra's 1946 classic can now be acknowledged as an "outing" of the international bankers scheme to bankrupt and control the masses. This clip of the "bank run" is frighteningly topical
Fun Facts from Neatorama
• When you see the boys sledding near the beginning of the movie, there’s a lot going on here. First of all, all of them are wearing caps with skull and crossbones. That’s because they all belong to a secret club (boys only, I’m sure). And among the boys there are Ernie and Sam Wainwright. Ernie isn’t ever referenced in the movie, but you know it’s Sam because he gives his “hee haw” sign. Also, if you look close, you’ll see that they are trespassing on old man Potter’s territory. In an earlier version of the script, Potter let his attack dogs loose (”Smithers, release the hounds.”) on the boys, and when they started running, Harry fell through the ice.
The FBI investigated Frank Capra as a possible communist infiltrator
