It's a public domain Frank Capra movie that climaxes on Christmas involving a man about to commit suicide...but it has Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck, not Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.
Strange we have two movies like that.

Finally did it: made a list I made on DA on Letterbox'd of "The 100 Most Important Warner Brothers Cartoons of the Classic Era (1929-1969)"!

The 100 Most Important Warner Brothers Cartoons of the Classic Era (1929-1969)
During the classic era of Warner Brothers animation from 1929 through 1969, the studio gave us Bugs, Daffy, Porky, the Road Runner and Wil. E. Coyote among many, many others from early black-and-white...

A local station was doing an hour of Earth, Wind and Fire for Maurice White's birthday and...played a medley of the slower songs instead of in full like the big funk/soul hits of uptempo.
Except...I wanted to hear this in full. And here, I will.

Random thought of the moment:
"You're the Inspiration" by Chicago is in the Casey countdown this morning; thanks to "Elite Beat Agents", I think it's a Christmas song.

Here's the thing: the reason TMS was so legendary...is Jim was able to make it his way. None of the networks wanted it; CBS only let him have a syndicated slot on their networks and the only person other than him that wanted to make this was a British executive with a BG in variety AND puppet shows
