What was George's occupation? ***SPOILERS***


I remember that in the world in which Mary had "never been born", George was working unhappily as a mechanic (well, at least he wasn't a librarian! :-P )

But can anyone tell me what his job was, in 'real' life?

reply

After he and Mary were married, he's a either a building contractor or a housing developer. The movie is not real specific on that point.

Thank you! Was beginning to think I was the only person who had seen the movie.

He's a building contractor.

The movie kind of implies that the Bailey Building & Loan contracted directly with George Hatch Construction to build all the houses in Bailey Park, which I suspect might be illegal in some way.

They didn't get into the details of the whole deal, but in real life a B&L operated by the wife making house loans which funneled straight to the construction company operated by the husband would be considered a Sopranos-style arrangement.
