Christmas wasn't always a time for slow movies -- I've sat through a lot of looooong, dragged out films over the last week as Hollywood releases its serious films, but one Christmas-season picture showed awesome energy almost to the point of mania: "It's a Wonderful Life." My wife and I caught the last 15 minutes of Frank Capra's 1946 classic on Christmas Eve, and what a freight train of a flick. The prolificacy of invention is astonishing. You might think Capra would slow down to let the emotions sink in, but he keeps redoubling the speed, and he had my wife and me bawling within ten minutes.
