Daily Dialogue — September 6, 2018

“This thing isn’t as black as it appears.”

— It’s a Wonderful Life (1946), screenplay by Frances Goodrich & Albert Hackett and Frank Capra, story by Philip Van Doren Stern, additional scenes by Jo Swerling

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Bank.

Trivia: The one and only time Frank Capra contributed to a screenplay on one of his films.

Dialogue On Dialogue: The timing of the line above is great because as soon as George says it, there’s the shrill of sirens as police cars race down the streets outside. A great way to escalate the tension.
