It’s a Wonderful Life

Frank Capra’s perennial holiday classic is one of the most beloved films of all time and the quintessential “Capraesque” comedy/drama. James Stewart is Bedford Falls banker George Bailey, who is driven by circumstances one Christmas Eve to consider suicide, only to be shown by neophyte angel Clarence Odbody (Henry Travers) what a difference his life has made.
