 The American Film Institute called it one of the best films ever made – It’s a Wonderful Life (1946), directed by Frank Capra and based on an original story, The Greatest Gift, written by Philip Van Doren Stern in 1939. Capra bought the script for $10,000 from RKO Pictures who were so anxious to unload the project that they gave Capra three more scripts for free.
 
-Shot in the spring of 1946, It’s a Wonderful Life opened to moderate commercial and critical success. Over time, various mergers and acquisitions eventually put the film in National Telefilm Associates’ library, where through a 1974 clerical error the copyright was not renewed. Once it entered the public domain, many television sta- tions began airing the film without paying royalties.

 The film’s accidental public domain success is often cited as a reason to limit copyright terms. Frank Capra commented that ‘it’s the damnedest thing I’ve ever seen. The film has a life of its own now and I can look at it like I had nothing to do with it. I didn’t even think of it as a Christmas story when I first ran across it. I just liked the idea.’
