George Bailey has so many problems he is thinking about ending it all – and it’s Christmas! As the angels discuss George, we see his life in flashback. As George is about to jump from a bridge, he ends up rescuing his guardian angel, Clarence. Clarence then shows George what his town would have looked like if it hadn’t been for all of his good deeds over the years. Will Clarence be able to convince George to return to his family and forget suicide?
"A classic movie intimately associated with Christmas, but that can and should be enjoyed at any time of the year. This fantastic story reaffirms the value of life and the good we can do for others. A universal message that transcends the signs of the present time present in the film. Winner of a Golden Globe, for director Frank Capra, and nominated for five Oscars."
