Question
I tried to skim through the past questions, so I hope this wasn't already asked! I've been trying to search and find a classic movie, but I can't figure it out. I remember it is in black and white, and I'm pretty sure it takes place during the great depression. I remember one scene where a guy in a bank is standing above everyone else (they want their money), and he explains that their money is with each other. He says, "Mr ... your money is in Ms ... house!"
I don't know if this is enough to help, but I appreciate your help!

Answer
Hi Brady,

I don't know if this will help at all.  I can't seem to think of any other film that would have a
scene like the one you described,...except for the classic film of the 40's,  "It's A Wonderful Life", starring Jimmy Stewart.

When a rumor starts in the small town, that the local bank (run by Stewart0 may no longer have funds,...they all storm the bank to withdraw any savings they may have there.  He tries
to qualm their fears, but they're too panicked to listen.

This is a favorite film which is almost always shown on TV at Christmastime,...and is available on DVD and VHS.
