An angel helps a compassionate but despairingly frustrated businessman by showing what life would had been like if he never existed.
Rating:10/10 This is a yearly Christmas tradition with most families in which it reinforces strong values. This is one of the best movies of all times. It has a little bit of everything from comedy, to drama, to romance, to inpsiration. Capra made this movie to really involve the audience with his characters and how could you not get involved and feel the pain the James Stewarts' character had to go through. You could just feel his pain as his dreams were being taken away. This had some fo the best acting as well. Like I said before you could feel Stewarts pain, but you could also feel the love that the characters had for each other except for Lionel Barrymore's character, which you could feel the anger twoards him for what he was trying to do to Georger Bailey. This is a movie in which I feel I could watch this over and over and not get bored with it. There is some great dialogue between the characters and there were times when I thought that maybe James Stewart was improvinsing a little bit, and it worked. Donna Reed was very charming and the girl next door most guys would love to have in their life. There are just so many positive things about this movie. This is a heart warming and a moving film with a message. If you haven't seen it yet, please check this out. I can't see how anyone would be disappointed with this movie classic.
