In the Movie Its a Wonderful Life, we have this single man named George Bailey who keeps the one business banking loan institution to save the town from a hostile takeover by Mr. Potter. All the people come to love him for his generosity and saving peoples’ homes.
George always has this crush on Mary whom he known since High School Days. He is shy, but manly in business. His brother, who was supposed to takeover the business once he returned from college, made other plans and married a girl named Ruth. So, George more or less becomes married to the business, and never goes to college or sees the world.
He never really pursues anyone in the manly fashion, and hearing Mary had been associating with Sam Wainwright, lets that be the deciding factor in calling on Mary. He doesn’t.
His mother calls Mary, without telling George, and tells her he is coming by to call on her (matchmaker).
As he reluctantly walks by her house, she notices him and invites him in. He acts aloof and insists “He was just walking by” and they have an interesting emotional spat once he goes inside. She had made a picture of him and put on some music they remembered.
She loses her cool and tells him to go home. Mary’s mother is there the whole time keeping the EYE on them. Embarrassed and angry, he begins to leave.
He returns for a brief moment, cause he forgot his hat, when the phone rings. It is Sam Wainwright. He comes to the phone where both he and Mary have to share the receiver. He offers him a business proposition over the phone if he will but leave the business. George and Mary lose it and George, for only a couple sentences, insists he wants to do want he wants to do, wants to travel around the world, and never marry ever. They both cry, and she cries more when he insists he doesn’t want to marry ever. She didn’t want to be an old maid and acts like its the end of the world. He then melts, and they both melt into each others arms, and the rest is history. They get married.
Hhmmm…The man was not manly, and it took two ladies to talk him into marriage, to get the nerve so to speak. Hollywood. Not sure anything like this would really happen. Maybe she saw enough good qualities in him that made up for his lack of manliness so to speak.
I don’t think something like this would ever really happen, would it?

He means well, but never gets around to acting. In that way, he’s sort of a Capra version of Hamlet, without the adultery and murder.
