TODD R. McADAM Cortland Standard Nearly 75 years on, the movie is hauntingly familiar. We’ve run with George Bailey down Main Street, wishing the world a “Merry Christmas.” We’ve gone sledding near an ice-covered river, driven past a cluster of tidy little houses built in the 20s, 30s and 40s not far from the painted ladies and architectural legacies of a bygone era. We’ve gone into the churches, stared down at the rivers from the iron-truss bridges. We know a Burt and Ernie, a Mr. Martini. A Violet Bick and old man Potter. We know how easy it can be, like George Bailey, to descend into cynicism and despair, making the climax of “It’s a Wonderful Life” so easy to covet: a chance to see how we made Bedford Falls better.
