Dezember 2023 (englisch): „Fun fact: “capra” means “goat” in Italian. Did you catch the goat in It’s a Wonderful Life? When the Martinis move into Bailey Park, a goat accompanies them in the car, as a nod to Capra’s own Italian ancestry. His family immigrated to the United States from Sicily in the early 1900s.“

Taylor Taglianet: It's a wonderful (Italian American?) Life. In: noiaft.org. The National Organization of Italian Americans in Film & Television, 25. Dezember 2019, abgerufen am 25. Dezember 2023: „When George and Mary pack the Martini kids in their car to move them to their new home, they just barely fit, not to mention, they bring their goat along with them. This scene is a not so subtle reference to the big families Italians are known for and the farming background Italians brought over.“

Owen Bowcott: Redemption for films on Oscar miss list. In: theguardian.com. 23. September 2004, abgerufen am 26. Dezember 2023 (britisches Englisch): „The Shawshank Redemption, a feel-good film about a convicted murderer, prison brutality and the enduring power of friendship, has been voted the best movie never to have won a major Oscar. More than a third of 6,000 cinema fans who responded to an online survey by the Radio Times nominated the jail drama as their favourite. … Second place went to the sentimental Christmas tale It's a Wonderful Life, with 12% of votes cast. All of the films failed to win any Oscars for best director, actor, actress or best picture.“
