Product Information
James Stewart (VERTIGO) stars as George; a noble man who takes the blame for a crime he did not commit. After attempting to kill himself, George is visited by a guardian angel and given a glimpse of a world without him in it, and the repercussions his absence has on his nearest and dearest. Director Frank Capra (MR. DEED'S GOES TO TOWN) created a poignant and feel-good film that has stood the test of time and is rightly considered to be the quintessential Christmas classic.Product Identifiers

Additional InformationThe legendary James Stewart (HARVEY, VERTIGO) stars as George Bailey. George is a noble man who has spent much of his life on a crusade to stop shady local businessman Henry Potter (Lionel Barrymore û TREASURE ISLAND, DUEL IN THE SUN) from taking over the picturesque town of Bedford Falls. However, on a typically snow-covered Christmas Eve, George plays right into Potter's hands when his uncle manages to lose a considerable amount of their family business' money on the way to the bank. Ironically, Potter discovers the missing money and hides it, knowing that its disappearance will tarnish the Baileys' white-than-white reputation. Taking responsibility for the shortage and realising that he faces prison, George attempts to kill himself but in a bizarre twist of fate is visited by a guardian angel. In true Dickensian style, George's newfound friend gives him the opportunity to glimpse a world without him in it and the repercussions his absence has on his nearest and dearest.<BR><BR><BR>Nominated for numerous Academy Awards (including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director) and ranking at number 11 on the American Film Institute's list of 100 greatest movies, Director Frank Capra (MR. DEED'S GOES TO TOWN, LOST HORIZON) managed to create a poignant and feel-good film that has stood the test of time and is rightly considered to be the quintessential Christmas classic.
ReviewsGuardian (UK) - A genuine American classic., Empire - Although peppered with colourful, sharply drawn characters, this is Stewart's movie, instantly loveable as a small town dreamer who sacrifices everything for others. His journey to despair and back warms the cockles like little else. Enjoy it in a cinema so you can sob among others, DVD Verdict - IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE is a bona fide classic., Chicago Sun-Times - At a seminar with some film students in the 1970s he was asked if there were still a way to make movies about the kinds of values and ideals found in the Capra films. 'Well, if there isn't," he said, "we might as well give up.'

Golden Oldie Movie
I only watched this film for the first time last year and kicked myself for not watching it sooner. It's a warm hearted film about family, loyalty, love and hardship and is the definition of Christmas. This film will have you getting that warm glow on the run up to Christmas. This is my favourite Christmas film and if you don't like to watch black and white films they have managed to do it in colour to. I would recommend this film to anyone even the Grinch's heart would melt for this film.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Feel good story, Good triumphs over evil!
A good 'feel good' story, set in a time when our current cynacism & troubled times probably seemed a world away! A tale of redemption, and, the triumph of Good & Honesty over evil and manipulation; much needed now!!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Worth a view
It's in colour and the story line is thought provoking and holds your attention although the film lost money when it was released and classed as a failure . It's come into its ownVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
