FBI thought 'It's A Wonderful Life' was communist trickery

In my new blog post I note a Tea Party POV of the classic film It's A wonderful Life.

Quote:

But this film presents the lie that God would actually side with George. That a Christian God would definitely want to help someone that isn't using all their efforts to appropriate the property of their neighbors and townsfolk. This blatantly ignores Bible verses like.....um......it's somewhere in Leviticus I think.

Also of importance, the FBI memo that speculates the film is, indeed, communist tricks.

So, what do you think? Sappy classic film or Communist lies?
