The bank run scene was a definite influence for Capras It's a Wonderful Life.
The depositors rally to help Dickson was so reminiscent of the citizens of Bedford Falls coming to help the Baily Savings and Loan from being snapped up by Potter.

This was a good movie, wasnt it? While I knew who John Huston was, from "Dodson", if nothing else, I was totally unfamiliar with Cummings until this set of TCM movies. But I don't think they needed Wonderful Life, or vice:versa to know what a bank run was considering the times they lived in. BTW, wasn't that vault door impressive?
