"Lots of people love this movie of course. But I’m convinced it’s for the wrong reasons... 'It’s a Wonderful Life' is a terrifying, asphyxiating story about growing up and relinquishing your dreams, of seeing your father driven to the grave before his time, of living among bitter, small-minded people. It is a story of being trapped, of compromising, of watching others move ahead and away, of becoming so filled with rage that you verbally abuse your children, their teacher and your oppressively perfect wife. It is also a nightmare account of an endless home renovation."

I can think of one of his earlier roles, in After the Thin Man he was the killer. His confession scene was quite painful to watch.
That's it though. He was golden.

Without the film there never could have been Escape From It's A Wonderful Life... the crowning achievement of voice-over comedy for all time.

His character in Vertigo wasn't exactly a boy scout.
