Tissues at the ready—this 1946 classic is considered one of the greatest films ever made.
Beset with personal and professional problems, the once happy-go-lucky George Bailey finds his previously happy life falling apart around him on Christmas Eve. Seeing no way out, George wishes he had never been born—but Clarence, his guardian angel, intervenes to show him what his beloved hometown of Bedford Falls would be like without him. Realising how many lives he has changed for the better, George begs Clarence to return him to the present and the loving community he has fostered throughout his life.
Heart-warming and deeply emotional, with the ever-endearing James Stewart in the lead, It’s A Wonderful Life holds the rare honour of a film that rewards annual viewing—as attested to by its constant popularity since its release in 1947.
