7/10
A Cliff Notes version of It's A Wonderful Life
4 February 2019
Except without all of the singing and angels.

Either that, or someone mixed up the film cans and we got an episode of the Twilight Zone.

Would you believe that this was the inspiration for the first episode of season 10 of "Dallas"?

OK, this was a fun little episode, mostly for Dick York and Gena Rowlands.

I know of Dick York mostly from 'Bewitched', but I am also now seeing him in the episodes of AHP, and also the two TZ episodes.

In this one he is closer to what we normally see of him compared to his first three AHP episodes, although there is no real comedic events here.

The twist at the end is rather predictable, if you have seen enough of these types of shows, but still well done by Mr. York.

One observation that is sadly ironic - at the opening scene in the doctor's office, Dick York is chain smoking. In real life, he died too young, from emphysema.
