Dysfunctional uncles in cinema

'It's a Wonderful Life'

Uncle: Billy Bailey (Thomas Mitchell)

Uncle Fester factor: Uncle Billy drinks a wee bit too much, while given the responsibility of handling large amounts of cash for the family s saving and loan.

Uncle duds: Frazzled and frumpy in spectacles, over-sized, ill-fitting suits and shapeless hats.

Say uncle: (George Bailey yelling at Uncle Billy) Where's that money, you silly, stupid old fool? Where's that money? Do you realize what this means? It means bankruptcy and scandal and prison. That's what it means. One of us is going to jail -- well, it s not going to be me.
