My Review

After I read Stern’s original story, I came across this audiobook that was written and narrated by Jimmy Hawkins, who plays little Tommy Bailey in the movie, It’s a Wonderful Life. It was less than two hours, so it was easy to listen to quickly, especially if you increased the speed. I loved hearing original sound clips and interviews from many of the actors, the director, and other people who worked on this movie. It was fun to go behind the scenes and learn more about how they made this classic movie, and people’s thoughts and opinions about it. There are a lot of little “fun facts” that are told. There are even audio sound bites from the movie itself. Highly recommend if you’re a fan of the movie! I love it!
