Harry? Harry Bailey!

I need a random screenshot from "It's A Wonderful Life"

I need a screenshot of the Bedford Falls Sentinel announcing "PRESIDENT DECORATES HARRY BAILEY"... are there websites that have movie screenshots literally frame by frame?

Would a YouTube screenshot work? It's pretty low-res, but readily available: IAWF Search on Da 'Tube.

I don't know in which part of the movie that takes place, but you may be able to find the scene at Youtube and cap it yourself.

It will be easier to just grab the frame you want by renting the DVD and exporting the frame using something like Virtualdub-MPEG2.

It's definitely not on YouTube.

If no one else's responded by then, I have the DVD at home and could grab a snapshot. Can you tell me roughly how far in it is so I don't have to scan through the whole movie?

Oh, I found the whole movie on Google Video. Thanks!
