Jimmy Stewart was on the edge during filming because of his PTSD. He always had a high metabolism and always had trouble digesting food. During the war, this got worse. According to Jimmy, he essentially subsisted on peanut butter and ice cream.
At night he had nightmares, shakes and sweats.
He even now had hearing problems, as did George Bailey, from the sound of the bombers during those seven-eight hour bombing missions. He had problems hearing his cues on the set.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
