JamesStewart

James Stewart once described his experience filming Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope as the most demanding of his career, thanks to the film’s ambitious long-take technique and relentless pressure on set.

James Stewart cherished It’s a Wonderful Life, yet he harboured two notable complaints: he faulted Donna Reed for its early flop and was appalled by the later colourised version.

Tom Hanks, often likened to James Stewart, finds such comparisons uncomfortable, preferring to be measured against lesser-known actors. He admires Stewart’s artistry and feels fortunate for his own career.
