TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Originally planned to be directed by Frank Capra, he chose to do It's a Wonderful Life (1946) instead.

In 1910, Victor Moore starred in George M. Cohan's play "45 Minutes From Broadway" in which the song "Mary Is A Grand Old Name" made its debut. This song is used several times in the movie.

The men are getting paid $1.00 an hour for shoveling snow. One dollar in 1947 is worth $11.50 in 2020. The minimum wage in New York City in 2020 is $15.00 (though NYS will not reach $15.00/hour until December 31, 2020). (Although the character doesn't state whether that is $1 each or for both men together.)

The story was originally optioned by Frank Capra's Liberty Films in 1945 and announced as the company's first production. Later that year, producer-director Roy Del Ruth acquired the story.

"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60-minute radio adaptation of the movie on May 19, 1947 with Victor Moore, Don DeFore, Charles Ruggles, and Gale Storm reprising their film roles.

Popular Dialogues
