Question one asked which famous Christmas movie almost never aired again after its nineteen forty six release, until a clerical error in nineteen seventy four accidentally made it public domain. Answer. It's a Wonderful Life became a holiday tradition only after its copyright lapsed, allowing TV stations to air it for free. The mistake made it the most broadcast film of the nineteen eighties.
