Dir: Frank Capra | USA | 1946 | 130 mins
Cast | James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Thomas Mitchell, Henry Travers
The quintessential Christmas film, Oscar-winning director Frank Capra’s (It Happened One Night) masterful drama features Jimmy Stewart (Rear Window) as frustrated, compassionate everyman George Bailey; on the brink of suicide when a guardian angel (Henry Travers) arrives to show him how his community and loved ones would have fared without him. Together they travel back through George’s life as he saves his brother from drowning, falls in love with Mary (Donna Reed) and learns to put others before himself. Set in snowy small-town America on Christmas Eve, this very touching, very romantic reverse-Scrooge fable, with shades of both light and dark, is a seasonal classic.
“Capra's Dickensian masterpiece [...] A genuine American classic” ★★★★★ The Guardian
