Here's one of two stories published recently that feature Anthony Buccino's view of the bridge seen in Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life.
Does Bedford Falls = Nutley? by John Kampfe at Jerseywood.
One of the latest versions of the screenplay for the film was written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. Goodrich was born in Belleville and raised in neighboring Nutley, New Jersey.
Buccino is also cited in an article by Barry Lenson and published in the Nutley Neighbors magazine January issue.
Read Buccino's review of The Real Nick and Nora - Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, Writers of Stage and Screen Classics by David L. Goodrich.
A Wonderful Town by Anthony Buccino.

A WONDERFUL TOWN in American Voice anthology
Buccino to read ‘Nutley’ poem at anthology launch
Local writer scores a poem about Nutley’s rich history in the new anthology “The American Voice in Poetry: The Legacy of Whitman, Williams and Ginsberg” being published as part of the Distinguished Poets Series at the Poetry Center in Paterson.
The Nutley author weaves a poem around Frances Goodrich, who grew up in town and went on to write the “Thin Man” film series and later won a Pulitzer Prize for the play “The Diary of Anne Frank.”
Buccino’s poem suggests Goodrich’s screenplay for the popular Christmas film “It’s A Wonderful Life” has hints of old Nutley, and that the scene of the angel and George on the bridge may have been inspired by the Lyndhurst bridge over the Passaic River, not far from where Goodrich grew up.
In recalling Nutley of about 100 years ago, Buccino cites Guthrie’s Dry Good Store and some of our famous residents and visitors, including Mark Twain, Annie Oakley and Richard Stockton lining up for that new invention called ice cream.
Frances Goodrich was inducted into the Nutley Hall of Fame in 2005. Buccino stood in for the writer and her family at the ceremony.
Buccino will read “A Wonderful Town” at the book launch and poetry reading by contributors to the anthology on April 10, at 1 P.M., Hamilton Club Building, 32 Church Street, Paterson, N.J. For more information, visit Distinguished Poets Series http://old.pccc.edu/poetry/events.htm
