Frank Capra directs this heartwarming Christmas fantasy. George Bailey (James
Stewart) has spent his entire life in the small town of Bedford Falls. Despite
his yearning to see the world, George has always sacrificed his personal
ambitions for the sake of his family and the local community, settling down to
marry his childhood sweetheart, Mary (Donna Reed), and raise a family. However,
when a huge amount of money goes missing from the savings and loans company he
panics and finds himself preparing to commit suicide. However, he is shown the
error of this idea by Clarence (Henry Travers), an angel who has been sent to
Earth in order to earn his wings. To this end, Clarence shows George just how
badly Bedford Falls and its residents would have turned out had he never been
born.
