The 3 AM Concert

This story was originally going to be about a fistfight that Fonda and Stewart had over politics. The story goes that, after that altercation, they agreed never to talk politics again to save their friendship. However, we were not able to find any concrete sources to support this story.

Though we did find this story, which is from Henry Fonda’s autobiography, My Life (creative title).

Our favorite Fonda and Stewart films include (in no particular order):

• 12 Angry Men

• Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

• The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence

• After the Thin Man

• The Man Who Knew Too Much

• It’s a Wonderful Life
