Hollywood legend James Stewart's remarkable Second World War service and how that affected his performance in Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life is the subject of a new biopic, Jimmy, starring KJ Apa. Writer and producer Justin Strawhand and actor Julian Works join me to discuss the making of the film and the responsibility of bringing a lesser known but pivotal aspect of Jimmy Stewart's life to the big screen.

Jimmy is out in North America on November 6th 2026.
