Most Capra-corn Film From Capra?

HuhI don't think It's a Wondeful Life is corny. Or it's the most tortured and imaginative corny film I've ever seen. Frankly, when poor George Bailey arrived to the "new" town and none of his friends or family recognize him, I call it disturbing.
I'd say High Hopes even though I enjoyed some moments of it. I have never seen the Bing Crosby-Jane Wyman one though but I don't really want to.
If I'm not mistaken the term Capra-corn was invented by a critic in the 50's for his new, more harmless movies. It's a bit streched out to use it for anterior, far more complex movies.
