EVERY TIME A BELL RINGS, AN ANGEL GETS ITS WINGS

Special Features:
Theatrical trailer.

George Bailey (played superbly by James Stewart) grows up in the small town of Bedford Falls, dreaming of adventure and travel, but circumstances conspire to keep him tied to his home turf. Frustrated by his life and haunted by an impending scandal, George prepares to commit suicide on Christmas Eve. A heavenly messenger (Henry Travers) arrives to show him a vision of what the world would have been like if George had never been born.

The sequence is a vivid depiction of the American Dream gone bad, and probably the wildest thing Capra ever shot. The director's triumph is to acknowledge the difficulties and disappointments of life, while affirming— in the teary-eyed final reel—his cherished values of friendship and individual achievement.

It's a Wonderful Life was not a big hit on its initial release, and it won no Oscars (Capra and Stewart were nominated), but it continues to weave a special magic for audiences around the world.
