I need help yet again on another film-related project.

There are a few different posters around for the James Stewart film "It's A Wonderful Life", but typically, the one version I am trying to recreate for a personal project has a handwriting font I don't have anything near enough to substitute.

This image was a magazine advert around at the time, and differs in many ways from the normal film poster.

It's A Wonderful Life advert

The font I am looking for is the red one which cuts across the characters, reading "It's A Wonderful Life".

The drop line effects I can duplicate in Photoshop, but the font itself - or something close enough - is what I need. Thanks again in anticipation :D

I honestly doubt wether this is indeed a font. So many irregularities. Apart from body and footer (futura I guess) the whole ad does not look like nor gives the feeling of being typeset. Enlage the pict and you'll see what I mean.
I've looked at a few scrips and found one that sort of gives the same impression: Fantazia Creations Hand 10 italic (bold). Not the same! But I would be surprised if an occasional handwriting from these times was ever digitized.

By the way, great ad!

Isn't it! I collect old movie adverts and film posters (and fonts.....) and this is one I don't have yet. Ok, thanks so much for the help - I was afraid this would happen; so many film titlers of that era made their own signwritten titles rather than used a font set, and I seem to find them all *sigh*

I found one called BrodyD which when Photoshopped a bit comes reasonably close enough to what I wanted, but I always need new fonts so I'll give that one a go too :D

I'll post a pic of what I did once I upload it to my server.
