No one is born to failure; and no one is poor who has friends."

I never knew that one of my favorite Christmas movies, It's a Wonderful Life, was based on this short story. So glad I stumbled across this nugget of info. Although the illustrations are worth a good look, I couldn't help wanting to see Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey.
