12-12-7

The Hollywood Theater on Broadway was bought by a church recently. Sadly, they don't show many movies, but on the way to Christmas they decided to show It's a Wonderful Life. The projectionist found a chunk of film in the can that had been extracted from the original 35mm print. He spliced it back in. The result is we saw a version of the film with some pretty heavy kissing that was deemed too sultry for the masses the first time around. I've never seen this movie all the way through before. I'd seen bits and pieces of it, for sure, but this was the first full sitting. Amazing. Such a treat, the venue being the cherry on top.
