Trivia: In “It’s a Wonderful Life,” what happens “every time a bell rings”?
An angel gets its wings
Santa’s elves are near
The church choir sings

The correct answer is An angel gets its wings
So why is this answer correct? : The beloved 1946 Christmas classic “It’s a Wonderful Life” tells the story of the depressive George Bailey, whose guardian angel shows him what life would have been like had he never been born. The film contains a wealth of memorable moments, including this line uttered by Zuzu Bailey, played by Karolyn Grimes, who was only six years old at the time. Forty-two bell rings can be heard in the movie, perhaps indicating 42 newly winged angels by the film’s end.
