What it is

Beset with personal and professional problems, George Bailey finds that his previously happy life is falling apart around him on Christmas Eve.

Seeing no way out, George considers taking drastic action – but Clarence, his guardian angel, intervenes and shows George what his beloved hometown of Bedford Falls would be like without him.

Shocked by what he sees, George reconsiders and begs Clarence to return him to the problems of the present and the loving community he has fostered throughout his life.

Poignant, life-affirming and brimming with the magic of cinema – Frank Capra’s 1946 classic is the definitive Christmas movie.
