During the scene at Nicks Bar in Its a Wonderful Life, Mr. Gower almost seems frightened when George tells him hes George Bai

George (James Stewart) orders a Double Bourbon and Clarence the Angel orders a Flaming Rum Punch then switches it to Mulled Wine heavy on the cinnamon. This film was made in 1946. In this scene, Clarence also says that he’s 293 years the writers in the 1940s assumed that people drank Flaming Rum Punches and Mulled Wine in the 1650s? Interesting.
