Does anyone know why? Was the pharmacist (I forgot his name) trying to poison someone?

He didn't deliver it because he saw that the pharmacist had accidentally made it wrong. The pharmacists son had just died in WWI if I remember right, I know he had just died anyway and the pharmacist was drinking and distraught.

The pharmacist (I forgot his name too, but I want to say Mr. Drucjer) was distraught over receiving a telgram telling him that his son had died in the war (WWI). Because of that, he wasn't fixing the correct medicine. If George had delivered the medicine, the child would have died.

The druggist was a drunk and unintentionally was sending the wrong medicine. George probaly saved the persons life and the druggists too, for had he delivered the medication, he would have been convicted as a murderer.

Mr. Gower didn't mean to put the arsenic in the pills. He just found out his son was killed in the war. But George caught it in time, even by getting a good ear slapping. As Mary looked on.

George didn't deliver the medicine because the druggist put the wrong medicine in the bottle. The druggist had just learned his son had died and in his grief he made a mistake. When George caught the mistake, he prevented the druggist from killing someone

Basically you are all right, but I can't help but nitpick. Mr. Gower's son died of influenza. There really was a worldwide flu epidemic shortly after WWI.

Um... who cares? You're talking about "It's a Wonderful Life". He was probably just lazy...

It wasn't in the script apparently.

yes he was not in the right state of mind and had put poison in place of the medicine and would have killed them
