Talk:Seneca Falls (village), New York

[edit] It's A Wonderful Life

I heard from someone (locally) that Seneca Falls is rumoured to be the basis of the town of Bedford Falls in "It's a Wonderful Life". Can anyone verify this (even just verify that the rumor exists?)? -VetteDude 20:15, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

The rumor does exist. There are similiarities between Bedford Falls and Seneca Falls, but the same comparisons can be made with many communities in the area. The connection is made through a story that Frank Capra (the movie's director) visited Seneca Falls once. His biographer, however, states that there was no connection between the real Seneca Falls and the fictional Bedford Falls.

Occasionally you will hear that Seneca Falls is where the movie was filmed. That is most certainly not true. --Martymaven 22:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the clarification -VetteDude 20:09, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
