"It’s a Wonderful Life": The Making of a Holiday Classic In-Person
An illustrated lecture by historian Leslie Goddard, Ph.D
Did you know Cary Grant was supposed to star in It’s a Wonderful Life? That the famous gym-floor-turned-swimming-pool was real? That the movie bombed at the box office? Even if you’ve seen the classic holiday film 150 times, you’ll love this fun program that explores the story of the movie’s creation including how the script evolved, how the cast was chosen, and the technical challenges that were overcome. You'll find out what happened to the cast and enjoy rare photographs taken behind the scenes. Rediscover Frank Capra’s masterpiece like you’ve never seen it before.
Event will take place in the Great Room. We encourage all ages to attend.
