Here is a LA Times ad for the original run of “It’s a Wonderful Life” in January 1947. The film was not a financial success in its initial release.

I’d like to know how Placido Domingo’s agent pitched his role as the voice of a dog in this film. Maybe La Scala was booked.

kencmcintyre commented about Clune's Auditorium on Oct 1, 2008 at 1:27 am

What bugs me is that I was in LA for a year before it was torn down and never checked it out. Lost opportunity. Same for the Hippodrome on Main Street.
