It’s a Wonderful Life

Is it even Christmas without a trip to Bedford Falls? When George Bailey (James Stewart) wishes he had never been born, an angel (Henry Travers) is sent to earth to make his wish come true. George starts to realise how many lives he has touched - undoubtedly a nod to Dickens’ Christmas Carol. This is Jimmy Stewart’s film and the immensely skilful cinematography and superb ensemble cast elevate Frank Capra’s story of re-birth into a timeless Hollywood Classic.
