| It's a
Wonderful Life, starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna
Reed. Directed by Frank Capra. |
| This
essential Christmas movie has always been one of
my personal favorites. I used to sit around the
house all the time during the Christmas season,
watching the Wonderful Life time after time
across all the networks. |
| Jimmy
Stewart is George Bailey, a small-town bank owner
who does the best he can to help people out. As
angels review his life, we see George growing up,
always taking the high road and being a friend to
everyone. But when a snafu leaves him at the
center of a scandal on Christmas Eve and he
begins to consider suicide, his guardian angel
comes to show him a sad world where George Bailey
was never born. George begins to see the impact
he's made on hundreds of people, and starts to
believe in himself once again. |
| It's a
Wonderful Life is a tribute to the American
spirit, to the sense of individuality and
self-worth that has made our nation great. And
it's a reminder that the Christmas season is the
one time of year when we really try to be the
kind of people we always think we are. |
