Classic Capra!

It's a Wonderful Life is a classic of all times. A really feel-good movie, it centres around the life of George Bailey and a thrift and loan society. He got the girl of his life but never got his ambition realised nor a chance to see the world as he is embroiled in the affairs of Bedford Fall. He intention to commit suicide because of the fear of an embezzlement charge led him to meet Clarence, a second class angel waiting to get his wings!

His wish never to have been born let George to see that many things did not materialise without his touch. Realising this, he got his wish to come back into the real world and to savour its goodness.

Wonderful performance by James Stewart and a charming Donna Reed.

Great movie to watch and continues to delight even though it is old vintage!
