Was one of the world's most beloved motion pictures influenced by a small upstate New York town? The Real Bedford Falls: It's a Wonderful Life is an Emmy-award winning half-hour documentary that explores the connections between Seneca Falls, New York, and Bedford Falls, the setting of the movie It's a Wonderful Life. The documentary examines small-town life in Seneca Falls, captures the excitement of the annual It's a Wonderful Life Festival, and celebrates the enduring themes of the Frank Capra classic. The film features interviews with Karolyn Grimes (who played Zuzu Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life), Jimmy Hawkins (who played Tommy Bailey), Monica Capra Hodges, granddaughter of Frank Capra, and film critic Leonard Maltin. NBC Today Show legend Bob Dotson provides the narration.
