Over two decades, the uplifting story of George Bailey (James Stewart) overcoming suicidal despair with the help of a guardian angel became the quintessential Christmas movie, replete with a suitably evil villain \u2014 the heartless banker Mr.  Potter \u2014 and wholesome, heartwarming romance, by way of George&#8217;s loyal and resourceful wife, Mary, played by Donna Reed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">For the past 15 years, Mary Owen \u2014 Reed&#8217;s youngest daughter \u2014 has been appearing at annual screenings in small independent theaters that have become a cherished seasonal ritual throughout the country.  \u201cIt&#8217;s become a tradition,\u201d she said recently from her home in Iowa City, 200 miles from where her mother grew up in Denison, Iowa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p><span class=\"font--article-body font-copy hide-for-print ma-0 pb-md db italic interstitial\">Mary Bailey is the true hero of &#8220;It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">But that tradition faced an existential threat on a par with George Bailey&#8217;s earlier this year, when some small theaters thought they wouldn&#8217;t be able to play \u201cIt&#8217;s a Wonderful Life.\u201d  Although several venues were able to book the movie as usual, others say they were told they wouldn&#8217;t have access to it until January, after an exclusive run sponsored by Fathom Events, Turner Classic Movies and distributor Paramount Pictures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cThe first time I heard about it I thought, &#8216;We have left Bedford Falls,&#8217;\u201d recalls Owen, referring to the fictional town where Bailey grows up and, by the end of the film, discovers that he has been a force for good all along.  When she heard that her local nonprofit art house, FilmScene, might be barred from showing \u201cIt&#8217;s a Wonderful Life,\u201d she was incensed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cI&#8217;ve been part of this momentum of showing the movie in small, independent theaters since 2007, and it&#8217;s become a tradition,\u201d said Owen, 65, who moved to Iowa in 2020 to help organize her mother&#8217;s centennial.  Preventing small theaters from showing \u201cIt&#8217;s a Wonderful Life,\u201d she says, \u201cgoes completely against the essence of the movie\u201d and its ideals of community, generosity and self-sacrifice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">It&#8217;s tempting to see George Baileys and Mr.  Potters at every turn in a story that possesses uncanny parallels with \u201cIt&#8217;s a Wonderful Life,\u201d in which mom-and-pop values \u200b\u200bmanage to overcome profit-driven commercialism.  But it&#8217;s not always as clear-cut as it seems.  Life, while often wonderful, is just as likely to be ambiguous, contradictory and a little messy around the edges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">But a shared moral of both tales is that, for mom and pop to prevail, they have to stand up for themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p><span class=\"font--article-body font-copy hide-for-print ma-0 pb-md db italic interstitial\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life&#8221; is a holiday classic.

Some venues followed suit, while others took to the streets \u2014 literally.  After initially being told she couldn&#8217;t play \u201cIt&#8217;s a Wonderful Life,\u201d Ellen Elliott, executive director of Friends of the Penn, which runs the nonprofit Penn Theater in Plymouth, Mich., says she discovered that the Alabama Theater in Birmingham had received an exemption.  \u201cI&#8217;m like what?!\u201d  Elliott recalled recently, adding that when she did some digging she found out other theaters in Michigan had also received exemptions.  \u201cAnybody who knows me knows I&#8217;m not going to lie down,\u201d Elliott noted.  \u201cFathom does this with films all the time \u2014 we wanted to book &#8216;Planes, Trains and Automobiles&#8217; at Thanksgiving, and that had a moratorium, too.  But &#8216;It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life&#8217;?  no.  You don&#8217;t do that with this movie.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">On Oct.  26, Elliott sent a text and Facebook post encouraging Penn patrons to show up to the next day&#8217;s screening of \u201cAbbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein\u201d for a group photo in front of the Penn with the message \u201cPlease preserve our community tradition\u201d on its marquee .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cI wasn&#8217;t sure what was going to happen, but people came and they kept coming,\u201d Elliott recalled, estimating that as many as 1,000 people showed up to the rally.  \u201cIt was just like the end of &#8216;It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life,&#8217; where everybody comes to George&#8217;s house.  \u2026 We got amazing pictures of the crowds, our NBC affiliate was there.  They had reached out to Paramount twice that day and they never responded.  But the next afternoon I got an email [from the studio] saying, &#8216;We&#8217;re happy to book this for you.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Since October, more theaters have been given the go-ahead to play \u201cIt&#8217;s a Wonderful Life,\u201d but not all were so lucky.  Chris Collier, executive director at Renew Theaters, which manages four nonprofit theaters in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, says he received an email from Paramount in August saying the movie would be \u201cout of release this holiday season due to the upcoming Fathom event.\u201d  He simply took no for an answer and moved on.  \u201cWe&#8217;re small and we&#8217;re still short-staffed from the pandemic,\u201d Collier explains.  \u201cOn one level, it wasn&#8217;t worth our staff time to fight a losing battle.  The flip side is that the amount of time we could have invested lobbying Paramount we&#8217;re now spending communicating with disappointed patrons about why we&#8217;re not playing &#8216;It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">As for who plays Mr.  Potter in this story, no one is willing to accept the role.  Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt insists that the company made an exception to its usual policy of demanding exclusivity, allowing more than 300 independent theaters to show \u201cIt&#8217;s a Wonderful Life\u201d alongside the multiplexes that compose the bulk of its network (Fathom is owned by the three biggest theater chains in the United States: AMC, Regal and Cinemark).  The Fathom engagement has been a box office success: When it ended on Dec.  21, \u201cIt&#8217;s a Wonderful Life\u201d had earned more than $1.4 million and a spot in the week&#8217;s top performers.  And the movie had attracted more than 117,000 filmgoers, a reminder that in many towns, suburbs and exurbs, the multiplex <i>work<\/i> the community theater.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p><span class=\"font--article-body font-copy hide-for-print ma-0 pb-md db italic interstitial\">As &#8220;It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life&#8221; turns 75, Karolyn &#8220;Zuzu&#8221; Grimes reflects on the film that belatedly changed her life<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Paramount declined to comment directly, sending a statement through a spokesperson that any theater that wants to play \u201cIt&#8217;s a Wonderful Life\u201d is able to play it \u2014 an assertion that raises the question of whether every time a Hollywood studio tries to dodge a potential PR crisis an angel gets his wings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">For Elliott, in Plymouth, Mich., the saga of \u201cIt&#8217;s a Wonderful Life\u201d this year demonstrates the fragility of a theatrical ecosystem in which small, independent theaters are chronically at risk \u2014 even though they often demonstrated creativity and nimbleness in hanging on to audiences during the pandemic shutdown.  \u201cWhen a multiplex is allowed to take something that was born and originally shown in these little theaters and they&#8217;re restricted from it, you&#8217;re killing the little guy,\u201d she says.  \u201cThe small-town theater is being almost treated the same way as a multiplex, and it&#8217;s not the same.  The distributors need to understand that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">At a time when nostalgia and fan loyalty are increasingly butting up against the realities of private ownership \u2014 of everything from popular HBO programs to Twitter \u2014 \u201cIt&#8217;s a Wonderful Life\u201d occupies a singular place in the collective psyche as something owned by everyone, a product of Bedford Falls, not Pottersville.  Owen, who recently introduced the film at the IFC Center in Manhattan, said this year&#8217;s screenings were imbued with a different spirit than in years past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cThere was an exuberance I haven&#8217;t felt for a long time,\u201d she said, adding that in addition to the post-pandemic joy of being together in a theater, something more aspirational was going on.  \u201cThe universality of this movie is kind of unbelievable,\u201d Owen said.  \u201cI also think it speaks to this idea of \u200b\u200bcommunity that we really have lost.  We&#8217;ve become so divided.
