IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946) - ♦♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Frank Capra

Written by - Frances Goodrich, Albert Hackett, Frank Capra

Starring - James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Thomas Mitchell, Henry Travers

"A feel good Christmas tale that helped set the term Capraesque by setting a standard for all feel good melodramas that came afterwards. The story is simple but one of the most charming ever brought to the screen; an angel must earn his wings by showing a compassionate but frustrated businessman how wonderful life really is. A true celebration of life, and a classic heart warmer which has been loved for generations and will most likely continue to be one of everyone’s Christmas favourites, with its memorable moments and a great lead performance by Capra favourite James Stewart."
