Although it is, undeniably, a great film - each time I watch it I end up annoyed that:
1 All George Bailey ever wanted to da was leave Bedford Falls - and he never got to do it and never will.
2. Old Man Potter never got done for pocketing the cheque that Uncle Billy dropped, leading to the crisis which would have affected hundreds of people. Surely Frank Capra could have written a scene whereby Potter came by to sneer, saw the people giving George the money and, upon wheeling himself around to leave, have the cheque drop out of his pocket, have George's little girl spot it and then the enraged mob turn on Potter resulting in a different kind of "limbs everywhere" scenario - Martin Scorscese would have done it, as would Sam Peckinpah.
