It could, but I hope not. It's A Wonderful Life is such a positive, optimistic movie that something as negative and oppressive as a sequel involving Vietnam would be a real downer.

Why is there a squirrel on It's a Wonderful Life?

There is a seldom seen alternate edit to this movie which has Uncle Billy's pet squirrel stealing the $8000 from the desk top and using it for bedding for his nest in the tree outside. The money is never found.

In both edits, in the scene where George and Billy are at the house and George screams at Billy for losing the money and then leaves, Billy, the falls face down on the desk sobbing. At this point the squirrel comes in through the window and climbs on his arm. This seems kind of odd in the context of the most popular edit, but in the alternate edit, this squirrel is key to the storyline.

In this alternate version Potter and his manservant have no knowledge of where the missing money went. This alternate version still paints Potter as a money grubbing old man, but not as a common thief, with his manservant as witness. It would have been easy for this manservant to subsequently blackmail Potter.

How do you get 'Married on Harvest Moon' and 'A Wonderful Life' special edition?

Choose who you want to marry and then you can give the girl you wanna marry anything you think she'd like. You can only marry Muffy, Celia, or Nami. (But in different versions, you can marry Lumina. I'm not sure if it is for all versions) Nami doesnt like flowers, if your in the girl game, i don't really know what to say. i think she likes some stuff from the dig sight. Celia likes flowers and such. ummmm, then you have to look at their diary.....muffys is in the bar in the flowers in the corner, Nami's is in the room she is staying in the Inn sitting out on the table, celias is in her room on her bed, her room is in the place that vesta runs, its up stairs. anyways, it will say in there diary, He is.... if it has a green heart that means they like you, if its red, that means they love you, but you need four red hearts to marry them. You can ask them to marry you after summer, but don't try too soon or else get rejected once, best go by that diary or wait till end of the year. The harvest sprites will give you a blue feather in the Summer, keep it, then when you have four red hearts from her, give her the blue feather to propose, then you'll get married and have a kid.

Marlin likes milk and doesnt seem to not like anything. Rock likes old coins or statues but not ores and flowers (except toy flowers.) Gustafa likes Milk, Flowers, Moon Ores and Old Statues but not fish. when the guy you like has 4 hearts then you can propose with the blue feather. DO NOT ASK BEFORE HE HAS 4 HEARTS!!!
