'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a 1946 drama directed by Frank Capra starring [[Jimmy Stewart]] and Donna Reed. Although once considered Communist propaganda by the FBI for making a banker the villain, it has since become a beloved staple of the Christmas season. A clerical error in 1974 allowed the film to fall in the public domain, which allowed the film to be shown repeatedly during the holiday season, until Republic Pictures reasserted control over the film in 1993.
