No one is born to be a failure. No one is poor who has friends. Simple thoughts that were the inspiration for one of the richest, most uplifting, most beloved American films ever made. Frank Capra's classic tale of George Bailey and his Christmas Eve visit with a guardian angel was nominated for five Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor. After more than 50 years it remains as powerful and moving as the day it was made.
Synopsis: A small-town dreamer, whose biggest plan is to travel the world, is continuously kept in the prison of his hometown. When he's had enough of his trying life, he gets a chance to see what the world would be like without him.
