Reluctantly running the only independent property loan company, George Bailey (James Stewart) helps much of the community in opposition to the greedy old banker. Even so, when pressures get too great he is driven to despair, but is saved by a friendly angel who shows him what life would have been like had he never existed.

I love this film and it is the BEST Christmas film ever. A real feel-good masterpiece of story telling with excellent direction. I’ve never seen it projected before so this is a real treat for me. An outing for my seven year old (who I think has never seen a black and white film!) is in order. Thanks!
