It's A Wonderful Life was actually the fourth time Beulah Bondi played Stewart’s mother. Prior to this, the two had collaborated as mother-son roles in Vivacious Lady (1938), Of Human Hearts (1938) and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939). Later on, In The Jimmy Stewart Show (1971), she once again played the mother of James Stewart’s character.

Additionally, one of the crows in the bank, famously known as Jimmy the Raven, starred in You Can’t Take It With You (1938), with Stewart as the leading role.
