the skull head on his desk says it all!

And remember, 20,000 in 1946 when this film was released is the equivalent of 283,000 today.

Plot twist: Henry Potter is Harry Potter's great grandfather

Democrats don’t understand that they statically give much less to charity than conservatives

What gets me is Mr. Potter doesn't receive any comeuppance for his greed considering he's one of the most despicable movie characters of all time.

Mr Potter , I'd say that in the whole vast configuration of things , your nothing but a mealy little spider 🕷️ !! Ahh haa haha hah!! 😂.

What RFK Jr should have said to Trump after shaking his hand. Personal integrity is everything!

A modern day George Bailey is supposed to speak anytime soon about an impending deal with a modern day Mr. Potter. Was supposed to speak at 2pm. I’m wondering if he is having some reservations about this and I don’t mean Indians.

My top 3 movies of all time. I'm 58. The Godfather. The Godfather 2. It's a Wonderful Life.

I love this movie so much. Two phenomenal actors showing their talent and portraying something so real it’s visceral.

All you have to do is change Potter to Trump in your head and this scene makes perfect sense.

Adjusted for inflation since 1946... Probably earlier in movie plot... $20k/year is like $320,000/year... On a 3 year contract... Almost a million. Potter would have found a way to null and void contract anyway...

Mr. Potter is the real hero of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” A responsible, prudent businessman. Meanwhile, George Bailey is running around in the middle of the night with flowers in his pockets, jumping off bridges because he thought he saw angels in the water.

I understand potter is the villain and George the good guy. But I'd like to know more about Potter , wish he had a backstory. I damn sure he grew up in poverty and had to fight for everything to survive , and it turned him in to a cold callase buisness man

Mes petites enfants, do you want a little shrimp?

To me, Potter is a tragic figure. Unlike the Grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge, Potter doesn't change his ways and turn into a good guy.

God damn degos!!!!!!! Greesy Italians! Whops!!!! Damn garlic eaters.

Integrity moral compass,way to go george! 👏

1:55 watch it in French. You’re welcome Home Alone fans😁

0:49: Look at Potter's sly wink. That's the signal that he's lying.

“You cant just buy people Mr. Potter. You know what you are? You’re a little bitch. Thats right you’re a bitch and i’d bet you’d like to suck it wouldn’t ya?”

In todays terms, that's roughly 370K a year.

Notice how Potter only offered George a 3 year contract? Potter would have kicked George out on his ass once he took over the Building & Loan. George should have countered with a 10-year contract @ 30k per year just to see what Potter would do.

I never noticed that Mr. Potter has a picture of himself on the wall 😆

Can’t watch this seen without thinking of home alone

Potter has a big portrait of himself on the wall. 😀

He still kept the cigar though.

Since Home Alone 😱

The handshake... man that was he whole key, right there. George was a good man, potter was bad, twisted and evil. More machine now, than man... oh wait wrong movie

(1:57)

1:57 Home Alone

Mr. Potter was reincarnated as Sen Rick Scott of Fla. as an even more evil variation of serpent man.

One of the ironies was that Potter had denounced George for underwriting a $5,000 loan to Ernie, who had no credit nor savings and had to support himself as a taxi driver. The basis was that George had confidence in Ernie's work and their friendship. Potter says if George keeps doing this it will give us a "lazy, discontented rabble instead of a thrifty working class". Yet when George is in the alternate universe of Pottersville, it has pawn shops, honky tonks, and strip joints all patronized by the likes of the "discontented rabble" Potter warned us against.

This is the kind of acting any aspiring actor ought to be studying.

2:07 Potter has a picture of himself on his wall. That would enough for me to say NO!!

1:55 this clip in English, but in Home Alone, it sounded in French

I am going to say no to Mr. Potter. He's a rat and liar. And a robber

The way he says 'OK MR. POTTER' and shakes his hand, then freezes his emotions like he just shook hands with the devil himself...

It's interesting. Nobody in the movie smokes CIGARETTES. There several scenes including this one where the characters smoke CIGARS and in another scene George Bailey smokes a PIPE. I guess since this movie is geared towards kids, they may have felt that having characters smoke cigarettes was bad. However, we all know that Santa and Frosty the Snowman smoke a pipe and big wigs smoke cigars. I guess they felt that the movie would favored better is the smoking was with cigars and pipes instead of cigarettes which nobody today seem to like.

You gotta love how when this movie was released, Potter was the epitome of callousness, greed, and clearly meant to be th bad guy. Fast forward to today and he's the Conservative poster boy running Twitter or Amazon.

George made the right choice

Mr Potter basically preaches common sense, practical lending. If we had more Mr. Potters there would have been no Great Recession and financial ruin for so many lower income families

His ego would seem to be his Achilles' Heel, (exhibit A, that painting) George being saved must've been really stressful for him.

The part at 1:55 reminds me of Home Alone

Lionel Barrymore is the quintessential Devil's advocate!

20,000 dollars a year yippy skippy and I still get Christmas day off?

Mr Potter was the true winner. He got paid to destroy gorge life. Love is nice it takes money to make the world go around.

Devil comes dressed like Mr Potter use your situation to further this evil caused life thanks adam and eve you what they say about opinion ah

1:56 Home Alone in France be like...

i feel the same way George Bailey feels when he shakes Mr. Potter's hand every time i have to work in corporate North America , like having to shake hands with the Devil
