George Bailey, a small-town banker in Bedford Falls, has devoted his life to his community and modest building and loan company. When $8,000 goes missing on Christmas Eve, George faces financial ruin—and an angel intervenes to show him what his town would become without him.
Cindy says
Capra's sentimental masterpiece earns every tear. Stewart's everyman vulnerability anchors this meditation on sacrifice and worth, while the town of Bedford Falls becomes as real as your own neighborhood. A film that actually improves with age.
