Yeah, Capra did a nice job throughout this film getting around the Hays Code.

It's one of the great, unexpected joys of "It's a Wonderful Life" in that it has some legitimate merit as a movie about the downtrodden, the individual spirit, an anti-banker movie, even a pro-banker movie (the only people with any sense in the film, despite their differences, are the two moneymen), and Communists and
