Inscription.
The Village of Seneca Falls. . may have inspired the hometown look of Frank Capra's 1946 holiday film classic "It's a Wonderful Life." Mr. Capra is known to have visited here in the mid-1940s at the same time the screenplay for the film was being developed. Many similarities exist between Seneca Falls and the fictional "Bedford Falls." Among these are the design of the Bridge Street bridge, the use of several place and personal names, and the village's geographical location.
