rdfs:comment
  • It Happened One Christmas is a 1977 made-for-TV movie. It is a remake of the classic film It's a Wonderful Life, notable for the role reversal and surname change of the two main characters. Marlo Thomas stars as Mary Bailey, who, in contrast to the original film, is the main character rather than husband George Hatch, played here by Wayne Rogers. In another departure from the original film, the male angel Clarence Oddbody is now a female one named Clara Oddbody, played by Cloris Leachman. The part of the villainous Mr. Potter was played by film legend Orson Welles.
