-- SO ENJOY IT, YOU'RE
WATCHING "LIVE IN THE D."
LOOK, DADDY, TEACHER SAYS
EVERY TIME A BELL RINGS AN
ANGEL GETS HIS WINGS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S RIGHT
IT IS ONE OF THE MOST LINES
ORIGINALLY RELEASED BACK IN
1946.
IT'S A CLASSIC IT HAS BEEN
SEEN EVERY YEAR RIGHT HERE
ON NBC AND LOCAL 4 AND IT'S
JUST SUCH A SPECIAL MOVIE WE
WERE JUST TALKING WITH
KAROLYN GRIMES THAT'S A
WONDERFUL LIFE.
YOU ARE PART OF THE FABRIC
OF AMERICA.
DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU
SO YOU ARE HERE AT THE RED
FORD THEATRE.
ALL REFURBISHED AND
BEAUTIFUL.
Chuck: WELL, WELCOME TO
DETROIT.
THANK YOU.
GIVE US A PEEK BEHIND THE
SCENES WHERE YOU GOT THE
PART IN THE MOVIE AND
WORKING WITH DONNA REED AND
JIMMY STEWART.
YOU KNOW WHAT WE JUST
INTERVIEWED AS LITTLE KIDS
AND FRANK REALLY DID LIKE ME
YOU BECAUSE I TALKED A LOT,
I THINK.
SO HE HAND PICKED EVERYONE
THERE WERE 2,000 EXTRAS IN
THAT MOVIE AND HE HAND
PICKED EACH ONE.
HE WAS A VERY MUCH
PERFECTIONIST.
SO I REALLY ENJOYED WORKING
WITH HIM AND DOING ALL THESE
THINGS.
Tati: WHAT DO YOU
REMEMBER MOST ABOUT BEING ON
SET?
WELL, THE SNOW.
I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN
HOLLYWOOD IT AND DOESN'T
SNOW THERE.
IT SO WAS GREAT TO HAVE SNOW.
IT WASN'T REAL BUT I STILL
LOVED IT.
AND JIMMY STEWART.
HE WAS REALLY KIND AND
GENTLE AND TALL, 6'4".
Chuck: WHAT WAS THAT LIKE
AS A KID DID YOU REALIZE AT
THE TIME HE WAS AN ICONIC
FILM STAR DID YOU RELATE TO
HIM MORE AS A DAD OR BUDDY.
NO, NO, I DIDN'T HAVE A
CLUE.
I HAD ALREADY DONE FOUR
MOVIES BEFOREDY THAT ONE.
SO I WAS A VETERAN.
THAT'S CUTE.
AND I REALLY HAD A GREAT
TIME NOT KNOWING WHO HE'S
PEOPLE WERE THAT I WORKED
WITH BECAUSE THEY WERE
AWESOME LEGENDS YOU KNOW.
AND I THINK MY PARENTS
DIDN'T WANT ME TO KNOW SO I
WOULD ACT MORE NATURAL.
AS TIME GOES BY WE WATCH
THIS MOVIE AND OUR KIDS
WATCH IT AND GRANDKIDS IT
JUST KEEPS ON GOING.
YOU SAY WHEN IT FIRST CAME
OUT IT WASN'T A BIG HIT?
NOT AT ALL.
I WAS A BOX OFFICE FAILURE.
AND IT SAT ON THE SHELF FOR
SOME 20 YEARS YEARS.
THEN THE TV STATIONS COULD
SHOW IT IT DIDN'T COST ANY
MONEY AND THAT'S HOW WE GOT
EXPOSED TO THIS WONDERFUL
FILM IN THE EARLY 70s.
SO THAT'S WHEN IT STARTED.
YEAH.
INTERESTING BECAUSE IT'S
SUCH A BELOVED MOVIE SUCH A
BELOVED STORY THAT EVERYBODY
CAN RELATE TO LIKE YOU SAID
EARLIER IT APPLIES TO
YESTERDAY, TODAY AND
TOMORROW.
SO THAT'S A GREAT THING.
AS WE WATCH THE MOVIE THERE
ANYTHING OR THINGS WE SHOULD
WATCH FOR YOU THAT YOU WOULD
SAY IT'S COMING?
WE'RE WATCHING WITH YOU
RIGHT NOW.
MY FAVORITE SCENE IS GEORGE
IS ON THE BRIDGE AND HE
WANTS TO LIVE AGAIN.
HE SAYS CLARENCE I WANT TO
LIVE AGAIN AND HE SAYS
PLEASE GOD I WANT TO LIVE
AGAIN.
THE MINUTE HE SAYS GOD IT
STARTS TO SNOW AND YOU KNOW
HE'S BACK.
AND HE'S DISCOVERED WHAT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT IN LIFE,
FAITH, FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Tati: I HAVE A QUESTION
FOR YOU HOW MANY TAKES DID
IT TAKE YOU TO GET THAT
LINE?
YOU KNOW I DON'T HAVE ANY
IDEA.
EVERY SCENE DID YOU TOOK A
LOT OF TAKES.
SO YOU KNOW YOU JUST DID IT
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT
WOULD BE LIKE CLIMBING ON
MR. STEWART'S BACK AND GOING
DOWN THE STAIRS INTO THE
LIVING ROOM WHERE THE TREE
IS.
WE DID THAT OVER AND OVER
AGAIN.
HE'S GOT MARRY'S HAND HERE
AND LITTLE
ME DOWN SO GENTLE AND SO
KIND.
THAT'S GREAT TO HERE.
THE HISTORIC RED FORD
THEATRE IS WHERE YOU WILL
BE.
WE HAVE DETAILS THE HERE YOU
CAN MEET CAROLYN ZUZU GRIMES
THIS IS FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY AT THE REDFORD
THEATRE ALL THE SHOW TIMES
WILL BE THERE FOR US TO BE
ABLE TO CATCH THIS GREAT
MOVIE IN A WONDERFUL THEATRE
WHICH ALL BY ITSELF TAKES
YOU BACK.
THEY HAVE DONE SUCH A GREAT
JOB RESTORING IT THEN
BECOMING A NONPROFIT.

STORY THEATRE MATCHING YOU
BEING IN TOWN WITH THE
HISTORY AND BEAUTY OF THIS
FILM.
