Release Year: 1946
This is director Frank Capra's classic bittersweet
comedy/drama about George Bailey (James Stewart), the eternally-in-debt
guiding force of a bank in the typical American small town of Bedford
Falls. As the film opens, it's Christmas Eve, 1946, and George, who has
long considered himself a failure, faces financial ruin and arrest and
is seriously contemplating suicide. High above Bedford Falls, two celestial
voices discuss Bailey's dilemma and decide to send down eternally bumbling
angel Clarence Oddbody (Henry Travers), who after 200 years has yet to
earn his wings, to help George out. But first, Clarence is given a crash
course on George's life, and the multitude of selfless acts he has performed:
rescuing his younger brother from drowning, losing the hearing in his
left ear in the process; enduring a beating rather than allow a grieving
druggist (H.B. Warner) to deliver poison by mistake to an ailing child;
foregoing college and a long-planned trip to Europe to keep the Bailey
Building and Loan from letting its Depression-era customers down; and,
most important, preventing town despot Potter (Lionel Barrymore) from
taking over Bedford Mills and reducing its inhabitants to penury. Along
the way, George has married his childhood sweetheart Mary (Donna Reed),
who has stuck by him through thick and thin. But even the love of Mary
and his children are insufficient when George, faced with an $8000 shortage
in his books, becomes a likely candidate for prison thanks to the vengeful
Potter. Bitterly, George declares that he wishes that he had never been
born, and Clarence, hoping to teach George a lesson, shows him how different
life would have been had he in fact never been born. After a nightmarish
odyssey through a George Bailey-less Bedford Falls (now a glorified slum
called Potterville), wherein none of his friends or family recognize him,
George is made to realize how many lives he has touched, and helped, through
his existence; and, just as Clarence had planned, George awakens to the
fact that, despite all its deprivations, he has truly had a wonderful
life. Capra's first production through his newly-formed Liberty Films,
It's a Wonderful Life lost money in its original run, when it was percieved
as a fairly downbeat view of small-town life. Only after it lapsed into
the public domain in 1973 and became a Christmastime TV perennial did
it don the mantle of a holiday classic.
