It's a Wonderful Life

Tonight we watched the American classic, It's a Wonderful Life. It starts fairly mundanely enough, with a spattering of slapstick and romance - then takes a rather unexpected and paranormal turn...I love a bit of random crazy thrown in for good measure and maximum emotional effect. I won't give away the twist, save to say that it starts around about the scene with the quotes: "Look Mister, we save hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast and we don't need any characters around..." and "Aaah shuuddup! Cut it out! You're crazy!!"

Before things got a touch on the strange side, I was rather inspired by the softly-lit tan tones of the makeup and the fawn-coloured, coiffed hair. The swimming pool scene above is a classic. So, have a look and get your Charleston on, because it's a wonderful life people.
