I find it interesting that both films came out in the same year. Both films come down to the basic question, "what now?" from two perspectives. Best Years of our Lives is still the best film about soldiers' readjustment period following the war but It's a Wonderful Life is fantastic at showing how the war effected the…

Frank Morgan kills me in that movie. That's one of those moments I'm surprised made it into an older film.

I absolutely love It's A Wonderful Life.

After seeing this movie as a kid, all I wanted was a laundry chute so I could line up my brother's action figures and shoot them with a bb gun.

I'd say give it a read. It's one of the first of it's kind and the story is laid out in an interesting manner. Whether you find it exploitative or not seems to depend on the individual but I wouldn't avoid it for that reason. Either way, it's a great book to debate with others.

I've only seen the movie as well but the alternate ending has Angel coming out to do the curtain call with the rest of the cast. I think I remember the commentary mentioning it was how they did the curtain call on stage. Personally, I would have liked the theatrical version of the ending better.

I don't argue that he did an incredible job reporting the facts. The book itself is a fantastic read. I have no regrets about reading In Cold Blood. I also don't argue that Capote's sympathy was genuine. However, his close relationship with Smith does influence the book. I would argue that Capote angled the book in…

I read this book with my book club for the first time this past year and saw every film version after that. I have a difficult time not seeing it as explotative even now. The way the book dangles the murder over your head the entire time your reading doesn't help. I do wonder how many who've read the book actually…

I liked Capote better as an overall film but I liked the details of Infamous.  Jones' Capote was better and I really appreciated the filmmakers showing how much work it took for Capote to get a foothold in Holcolm. As a Kansan myself, I had a difficult time even picturing how he'd get small town western Kansas people…

I guess Claire is one of those people who judge the 15/16ths of a person.
