Over the holidays, some viewers noticed that a slightly shorter version of the classic 1946 film It’s a Wonderful Life is circulating. This version is missing about 22 minutes of footage, specifically a crucial scene known as the “Pottersville” sequence.

This scene is vital to George’s transformation and the film’s message, and its absence has upset many fans. However, the reason for the edit isn’t as straightforward as it appears.

Some scenes in the show’s incredibly popular season felt unnecessarily extended and didn’t lead to satisfying conclusions, even when those conclusions involved saving characters viewers feared would die.
While Interview With the Vampire is a fantastic show, it’s not a flawless adaptation of Anne Rice’s novel. It’s less a faithful retelling and more a story inspired by the book. To be honest, despite being great television, it’s a pretty weak adaptation. As a longtime fan of Rice’s work, I’m worried that the changes made in the first two seasons will create problems in the upcoming third season.
