DEC. 21-22: IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE
We love Christmas time at the Redford Theatre. This week, a Christmas story for every-
one — take a trip back in time at the historic theater, opened in 1928, to see on the big
screen James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore and Karolyn Grimes in the 1946
classic It’s a Wonderful Life. Directed by Frank Capra with Studio Films (which Capra
co-founded with William Wyler and George Stevens), the film was a box-office flop —
though it was nominated for five Academy Awards and placed at No. 11 by the American
Film Institute’s Top 100 Movies. $5. (313) 537-2560; redfordtheatre.com.
