This research defends the idea that the social forces determined ideologically the cinematographic production of the United States of America, during the emergence of the cinema until the period of its consolidation, collaborating for the propagation of Americanism as a way of life. As a methodology, was used the film analysis of It’s a Wonderful Life (1946), to observe what kind of American way of life the cinema of classic narrative structure would be insert in its production, with the intention of spreading the american way of life without breaking the moral rules already established by the codes of censorship imposed at the time and that until now, in contemporary times, are in force. US culture, politics, and economics were discussed in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, periods selected for their relevance in the making of myths and turning points in American history; Americanism as a way of life; Fordism; and Hollywood cinema, for being the one of the pioneering mass media that collaborated with the forms of Americanization not only within the US but throughout the world.
