About the film

Frank Capra’s classic stars the great James Stewart as George Bailey, the eternally-in-debt manager of his late father’s bank in the typical American small town of Bedford Falls. Long considering himself a failure and now facing financial ruin, George concludes that his life is not worth living when an angel sent from Heaven arrives to show him how life would be in Bedford Falls if he never existed.
