About this product

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.

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.'

  • A Classic Movie that the younger generation will now watch!

    This superb movie is always watchable but I couldn't get my grandchildren to sit down & watch it, they will now though, the colourisation has been done really well plus being on blu ray is a real bonus.......
