George Bailey in the Vital Center: Postwar Liberal Politics and It's a Wonderful Life

Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary without showing signs of aging. Reviewers across the country commented on its “timeless quality,” and even those critics who qualified their praise by pointing out the film's saccharine vision of reality acknowledged its powerful emotional impact.1 Witnessing an ordinary person discover the extraordinary quality of his life just at the moment when he wishes he had never been born is indeed moving. This timeless quality, however, can cause us to forget that the film emerged during a particular cultural moment. Examining the film in light of a contemporary political treatise, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.'s The Vital Center: The Politics of Freedom (1949),2 it becomes more clear why the character George Bailey's “wonderful” life took the shape it did. Both It's a Wonderful Life and The Vital Center demonstrate a specific liberal morality and the importance of ordinary people living according to its dictates, which include restrictive gender roles.
