Bedford Falls (It's a Wonderful Life)
Bedford Falls (or Pottersville) is the fictional town in which the American Christmas drama ''It's a Wonderful Life'' (1946) and Philip Van Doren Stern's 1943 short story "The Greatest Gift" (on which the film is based) are set.
==Inspiration==
In 1945, Frank Capra visited Seneca Falls in the state of New York to look for inspiration for the town of Bedford Falls. The two towns are very similar as they are both mill towns, they both had a grassy median down the main street (Seneca Falls does not anymore), both communities boast Victorian architecture and a large Italian population, and they both have toll bridges very similar to each other. The locations are both close to Buffalo, Rochester, and Elmira.
In Seneca Falls there was a local businessman named Norman J. Gould, who owned Gould Pumps, and was one of the richest men in town. He drove his car with license number NJG1. Norman Gould also had great control over politics and economics of the area, much as Henry F. Potter did in the movie.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Real Bedford Falls: Too Many Coincidences to Ignore... )〕
The name Bedford Falls arrives from both Seneca Falls and a hamlet in the Westchester County of New York called Bedford Hills.
