Standing as one of the best and most popular actors of Hollywood’s Golden Age, James Stewart had a remarkable career acting in film, starring in arguably too many well-known movies to count. He appeared in several classic Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, had his fair share of Western roles, and was undeniably effective whenever a movie called on him to play a serious sort of role.
Despite Stewart and Novak having some considerable star power at this time , it’s a cat named Pyewacket who ends up stealing Bell, Book and Candle from the lot of them.

The most famous of these three would be the iconic Christmas movie It's a Wonderful Life, which can’t be counted here on account of it being a family drama. Capra and Stewart made two movies that can be considered comedies or dramedies, though, with the first being You Can’t Take It with You.
It’s the kind of film that’s endured in pop culture, thanks to its offbeat premise being referenced and/or parodied in films and TV shows made since 1950. Harvey might not handle topics surrounding mental illness with quite the same nuance a take on the same story would nowadays, but it was good for its time and is still entertaining nevertheless, with Stewart’s committed performance earning him an Oscar nomination. 3 'Mr.
2 'The Shop Around the Corner' Director: Ernst Lubitsch Functioning well as a bit of a drama and a comedy while also having an inherently romantic story, The Shop Around the Corner is exceedingly well-balanced and an overall highlight of James Stewart’s body of work.
