Just as an interesting bit of trivia, the original score when released in 1946 was met with critical reviews and from a box office perspective did poorly. In fact it was considered at the time a dud likely to drift off into obscurity.

Bet the original producers never would have guessed a re-release two decades later in the 70's would turn it into probably one of the most popular Christmas movies of all time.

Just read a very interesting book, "Hank and Jim," by Scott Eyman. Both were heroes in WWII, but Jimmy Stewart's contributions were exceptional. A very, very brave man, who had every reason not to participate, but did anyway, with valor.
